Abstract
The fashion industry is facing significant textile waste, with millions of textiles ending up in landfills annually. Overconsumption of textiles and clothes due to fast fashion trends has negative environmental impacts.

The findings show that the underlines the impact the impact of consumer values in affecting behaviors and attitudes towards second-hand clothing.
