In this paper, it is looked at how the consumer can even use eco-labels to see in which respect a garment was manufactured under sustainable conditions. Likewise, the most important fibers needed in the manufacture of clothing are identified, explained and examined in terms of their sustainable use. Concepts of slow and fast fashion are explained and the company "Kleiderkreisel" will be examined.
