More than a quarter of all clothes made are never actually sold - where do they go?
We look into new legislation being finalised by the EU, to try and make fashion more sustainable.
There will be a ban on the incineration of unsold goods and each product will need a digital passport so it can be tracked and its lifetime monitored.
Hannah Mullane speaks to businesses across Europe about whether they think the industry is ready for these kind of changes.
We also head to Ghana, to the Kantamanto market - the biggest second-hand market in the world, to understand the impact the fashion worlds unsold garments can have.
