Items measuring socially sustainable apparel purchasing behaviors

It is important to note that most of the sustainability challenges facing the apparel industry should not be considered as separate, unrelated issues, because there is a high level of interconnection between than. For example, the environmental impacts of toxic chemical use and the potential impacts of these chemicals on the environment are intimately linked with impacts on factory conditions for the workers who are exposed to those chemicals, as well as the risks to the local community surrounding the factory from potentially toxic liquid effluent and air emissions to their health. Furthermore, there are additional potential risks associated with residual chemicals on the finished product to consumers and to the local environment.
