Sažetak
The fast-fashion model consists is when the fashion industry produces pieces of clothing, considering the latest trends, with low storage and high turnover, which makes the marketing of the products quick and consumers always get new clothes at an affordable price and increasing the amount of possible produced textile residues from being reused. The fast fashion concept and its impact to climate change was done through a comparison between Portugal and Croatia. This study was presented as observational, analytical and cross-sectional cohort. The target population of this study was the population of Portugal and Croatia. A questionnaire was conducted, and data were collected from the analysis of waste reports and from EuroStat. Results were evaluated using the IBM SPSS Statistic program through descriptive statistics and Chi-Square independence test. Results shows that Portugal has a larger volume of clothing purchases compared to Croatia, and at the same time the Portugal produce more textile waste so the impact on environment is higher. One of the main reasons associated with the production of textile waste is related to the increase in fast fashion. It is important to encourage the circular economy, to stress the importance of stimulating the recycling of textile materials, to emphasize the need to increase clothing collection and to invest in recycling technologies. The creation of a new model for the textile sector is necessary, in which clothes, fabrics, and fibers re-enter the economy after their use and never end up as waste through the creation of a closed system.
