The fashion industry is responsible for four percent of the world's waste which has led to several staggering problems including overflowing landfills and microplastics from fiber production penetrating waterways. The purpose of this research was to compare the attitudes of fashion retail merchandising professionals and their packaging and merchandising waste. By understanding these attitudes and the waste created in the entire retail supply chain, it provides businesses with possible solutions for addressing sustainability in their supply chain. This study utilized an explanatory sequential design method to examine behaviors, attitudes, and current practices of individuals working in the fashion industry and of retail consumers. Data was first collected through one-on-one qualitative interviews with individuals who have worked in their position in the fashion industry for more than a year. The data was analyzed which suggested themes and subsequent questions for a quantitative survey of fashion consumers and a larger number of retail professionals. The study revealed that consumers and retail workers are overwhelmed by the amount of waste created in the retail sector and have a strong desire to implement change. Furthermore, there is a need to integrate communication between corporate leadership and retail employees allowing them to voice their opinions and suggest solutions. Addressing these issues has revealed possible best practices for retailers to implement policies for properly disposing of retail and merchandising waste and investigate ways to reduce packaging from their products. The findings of this study extend the knowledge of sustainability in the fashion industry and how companies can implement them into their business model.
