- Untreated wastewater from Faisalabad's hundreds of factories is polluting the water that is piped into peoples' homes. The result is a high mortality rate in children and a health crisis that is only getting worse as the city expands to become a fast fashion powerhouse.

How Fast Fashion Is Poisoning Pakistan's Drinking Water | True Cost | Insider Business
In Faisalabad, I have installed Caustic Recovery Plants to recycle more than 70% of caustic soda. The plant payback in a few months even then I had to convince about this 100 year old technology to mostly uneducated staff and owners who are wasting caustic and water and polluting the environment. The machines are highly inefficient and have no automation. The staff resists change and any innovation. In the last 10 years, i could only convince a few mill owners out of several hundred to install this plant and recover caustic and water. I'm not tired and keep educating. At least I am doing my bit.
Amazing, man!
Good 👍
The staff is busy making tik toks and watching porn.
Can you explain what is caustic? Is it soda? Why the textile owners don't want to install it? Cost is high?
More power to you ..May Allah help you in your mission ameen
Thank you for raising this issue.
I live in Faisalabad and believe me there are many local multi billionaires who made their money from textile industry but won't even contribute a single dime for this city. The saddest part is that the city's water supply runs on japanese donated money.
GOD BLESS THE JAPANESE
Why the local government not doing anything? All are corrupt?
Capitalism has no mercy, and the greed of people is never ending. am not sure what are all these people making billions are saving up all the money for ? their next meal ?
@@sectumsempra9837 Hi sectumsempra
@@halfwaysleet hello
Really made me appreciate how I'm able to drink and bathe in safe water without thinking twice.
Me too. Really appreciated. I wonder why can't the big companies like Arrowhead, Crystal Guyser, Dasani or Evian bring in bottle water for these people? Those companies should be able to do that considering how they make millions of dollars. Lastly, if these people were to boil the water at a high temperature, wouldn't that kill some or most of the bacteria? Then it would be safe to use.
Thank fossil fuels
Where?
It will kill the bacteria but not the toxic chemical compound
@@johnsmith2797 nothing to do with fossil fuels
Very saddening especially to the elderly and young children.🥺
Muslims deserve this they create talibantan
I honestly don’t see a problem here all these people have a job they’re getting paid instead of spending money on other things they could buy bottled water which I’m sure is available there or they could buy a nice water filtration system like a Britta or even something better heck even in New York City the water is full of lead from old pipes and Flint Michigan is even worse yet Flint Michigan is full of poor people who don’t even have job Opportunities like these people in Pakistan clearly have so I seriously don’t see what the problem is
@@blizzunt420e have u watched the whole video? 15% of bottled water contain chemicals and even if bottled water is safe to drink they won't have the money to buy it
@@blizzunt420e Shows the arrogance in your comment, most of the jobs these people have don't provide them with enough money to feed themselves for a month, let alone spend it on clean water. Furthermore, the countries economy is totally destroyed and inflation is at all time high. Also the filtration systems you talk about are not made in pakistan and so they'd be imported items which would cost MORE than they would in the USA.
@@blizzunt420e Bottled water is just another local brand producing tap water after filtering it with some sediment filter or similar.
Drinking water is one of the major issues here in Pakistan, we can't even bathe with this water. Meanwhile, a major metropolitan city Karachi lacks water supply in the majority of the areas. People are forced to buy water from these private water sellers. It is a sad state, as the government also supports these water tanker mafias instead of providing water to it's citizens.
The CORRUPT governments is WORSE than the mafia.
@@pabo-qv3nx true that
I am a resident of Faisalabad city and i live in the middle of it meaning there isn't any textile factory nearby but the water is so salty and its undrinkable. For drinking purpose we also use filtered water which costs us upto 2000 pkr per month.
Sucks for you dude. Leave or do something about it. Not anyone’s problem but your own. Enjoy

@@elitepersuaders9039 Only way this will stop is if everyone as a collective stopped buying cheap clothing. That's not going to happen because some people are cheap and others can only afford cheap clothing.
Buy used whenever you can so you're not contributing to new production.

The views show how few care about it
Multiple garmet factories all over south and south east asian countries have the same problem.
To all the people saying "I'm so glad I live in a place with clean water" here is how you can help... STOP BUYING FAST FASHION FROM SHEIN/H&M buy used clothes instead mine are 40 years old and work fine. I'll admit I have bought a few H&M shirts in the past but I keep them instead of throwing them away which most people in my generation do even though they are perfectly fine and can clothe other people. This is where the problems lie people wanting to keep up with trends
"STOP BUYING FAST FASHION FROM SHEIN", so all these people will lost their job and economy will crush in region.
@Vahagn Nikoghosian I understand your point but do you really think that the Chinese will suffer from not being able to make clothes. Walk around your house and see how much stuff is made there. I think they will be just fine.
@@asvahagnas better than keep working like that
Maybe you can also do a report on Nestle, how this company steals the groundwater, bottles it and sells it to local people. A billion dollar business in Pakistan.
i think there is a documentary or video about this on youtube
Faisalabad native here, 20 years ago affluent neighbourhoods has drinkable tap water but now everyone has transitioned into groundwater or tap water. My grandpa had skin conditions as well despite applying American ointments. It's tragic and climate change is only going to make it worse. My advice is to move up north near fresher water it would be tough but health is wealth.
What shocks me most is the indifference shown by business and government. There should be regulated sanctions. But then there is again the cheap work in such countries within the framework of globalization, which denies such countries a reasonable development. Very shameful.
Pakistan honestly needs a revolution. So many problems compounded that only the government can really implement lasting, system-wide reform but we've yet to see any action.
SO WHO do you think will be the leader? A military revolution will result in a brutal dictator, a civillian revolution will be backed by the USA and cause kaffir laws, poverty, anti sharia etc.
Thank you so much for highlighting this issue.
I am so blessed in my country to have such good drinking water 🙏🏻 I thank God I have access when many people aren't so lucky
If you’re so saddened by it go help. Yours will be screwed soon enough if you’re anywhere near a big city. Then you’ll be extra saddened

How is the country going to leave poverty if it’s people will have problems with its water quality. Govt is too corrupt to care. As long its officials are sorted its all good for now. SubhanAllah May Allah help Pakistan and bless its people
I think it should be a requirement for all companies purchasing these textiles & materials to pay a massive tax for environmental protection and education seen as they are saving money from purchasing from a 3rd world country. I also think any products coming from there should have a label that indicates how it is impacting the water and the environment so that the end purchaser at the store has to pay an additional environmental tax, controlled by the worlds climate pledge group to help educate and bring awareness to this horrific problem, if it's killing people, making people sick. Everyone is affected by this water letching out, it doesn't just stay in Pakistan, water moves and seeps down underground. If your saying the plant water isn't good enough to drink but suitable for watering crops, it's the same thing. You're consuming a plant covered in toxic chemicals which is absorbed into the plant. As a small home gardener myself, this is even more concerning and alarming. Bring attention and awareness to stories like these across the world is so very important. I hope others will see this story. Thank you for bringing awareness to this issue. Great story. 👍
Clearly people replying to this that are complaining about the tax don't have one ounce of care for the environment but lining their wallets. Probably the same people that take advantage of hiring overseas countries like this to make their goods. Education is key when it comes to climate change so educate yourselves please and have some compassion for people impacted by climate change and subject to chemicals being leached into their waters and cheaply poor made products that end up in a landfill after a short use. More people need to be open minded about buying lightly used clothes & not under garments but things like jeans, sweaters, shirts and furniture. It would greatly help our environment. I don't mind doing so when I need something, plus it's normally going to a good cause. You donate your clothes and furniture instead of throwing it in a landfill.
It depends on the country if they want to tax the companies for that
And the added cost will be pass onto customer who will then demand cheaper products or buy from another brand that's cheaper. So company will move to another country with no restrictions
@@michaelyun2407 if all these countries have restrictions, what would the companies do next? Shut down or comply? Which is less costly..?
I agree with you, but Pakistan has alot and I mean HUGE corrupt elite, aka the elite capture, who run their business and invest in outside markets/country's,
The whole country is like a business to them, which they don't even invest in,
It's truly sad,
For taxing these companies
I agree with that
But the sad thing is those taxes would never be used for good,
The elite corrupt would just steal it for themselves as they always do
How can you make a healthy environment if the ppl in control of that environment are all corrupt?
From high ranking officers to the ones up to the pm floor
It's all a circus
Your plan is very good tho,
Maybe in the future, when pti/imran khan comes to power again, it will likely work then, but for now it's very unlikely that the governors will do anything, they don't care
They even Steal the aid these poor ppl get from other countries,
Not only that
There's this whole black market or organ.. and other shit
And not to forget selling young calf and other animal meat,
So like it's not a single problem
Basically that's why they call it "elite capture"
No matter what
There's always going to be problems as long as these elite dominate from the top.
It's a pyramid of corrupts.
Alr on the last note, I would like to say, the ppl really need to wake up,
And form a good an solid government system
And bring about change
I feel pti/imran khan, will be able to bring about that change if he gets the support of the ppl
And in the future/after pti comes to power will these ppl get any help
And then can they secure a healther future for themselves, and for their kids.
It's just we all have to play our part in this change
Even if it's smallest.
Hearing that the water treatment of a more legit factory only costs $1,000,000 made me angry. The mega corporations buying these garments probably make that in profits every few seconds. Not to mention the Pakistan government. I really do wonder what safe water, food and sanitation investment across a whole country could do to its productivity and people, would it really be a waste of money in terms of GDP growth or whatever politicians care about?
These aren't international companies mostly. These are small factories largely operated by clan leaders with government connections.
Actually Pakistan should Balkanize into 4 parts. Or Pakistan should be federation like Yogoalavia
It would be God for us.

As a migrant living in Australia, it gives me very disappointment after seeing the living standards here in Australia and in my homecity Faisalabad. These people deserve to have atleast healthy environment and healthy drinking water. The elite class living in pakistan drink imported water and people who run country are getting unhealthy water.

I work in a major fast fashion store. It's depressing to stand by the cash register, selling hundreds and hundreds of t-shirts, sweaters, dresses etc that I *know* will only be worn a few times only to be thrown away or donated to a place that ends up throwing them or donating them to some poor third world country that's crumbling under the weight of all those donated clothes.
And every day I hear customers declining to buy a plastic bag, because "it's important to take care of the environment", and I'm like...if you only knew. Many times have I recommended various stores where customers can buy previously owned clothes instead, being cheaper and way better from an environmental standpoint. I meet so many lovely customers every day, and I very much like having a job, but for the sake of humanity I'd rather they didn't buy fast fashion lol
I’m living in Faisalabad and I can assure at least 95 percent of people don’t even knows the gravity of this situation. The small factory owner who refused to show the water treatment plant actually don’t have one. Even the nasty smell spreads in every homes when dying units uses hazardous materials to burn under boilers because of high cost of natural gas. And small factories are in residential areas. Govt employees especially from environment protection departments hardly come to take action and mostly settle things under table. Notices and action usually taken against those who don’t cooperate or in other words bribe.
They are killing the environment and your future generations. You should act upon or leave the city and county too.
Firstly, appreciation for the factory owner who has not only sense of responsibility at the same time ownership as well, so regardless of cost have water installed treatment plant. Other factory owners, small and large, are making profit out of it since long and have excuses for not taking the responsibility. It is one time cost but long run benefits. Those who have no space can collect the water and treat elsewhere.
Many labor worker die from this. But great video!
if they dont die due to bad water quality then they prefer to die by becoming a terrorist. Because that will take them to heaven.
This is much bigger than the migrant workers crisis. Because people aren't dying because a govt megaproject. Rather, innocent people die because of high demand of cheap clothings in 1st world country
There are laws for everything in Pakistan, especially when they called themself Muslims and Islamic country but bribe and greed becomes the priority over everything!
For now, Pakistan is getting bankrupt. so I assume that these issues will not be taken care of, until the economic condition of Pakistan is stable enough.
As a pakistani living in Canada. I can tell you this is just 1 of many problems in pakistan.
Yes but that one problem is also a problem in many other parts of the world as well.
rather then complaining, better give back to your country.

I have been living in Faisalabad from the past 18 years & I have to agree that the water quality in this city has been getting worse as the time passes.I remember when we were able to drink ground water without any filtration but now it's contaminated to an extent that you don't want to wash your face with it.
Luckily the government provided water is much better than that but still not drinkable so we have to purchase water from a filtration plant which is not in everyone's budget

@@paragg7859 did you read the comment? It said the WORLD is run by monsters. It's called corrupt money
the government should probably partially or fully fund the construction of shared wastewater treatment plants near places with multiple small textile factories, with new pipes dedicated for this textile wastewater. I bet it's easier to treat if you separate it from household wastewater, because it requires different processes. but expecting small factories to do it individually is unreasonable, it would probably always be more expensive and deliver worse results. and normally industries like this are already set up with many similar factories all clustered in the same neighbourhoods/industrial zones, which could make pooling wastewater from several factories into one treatment plant very practical. at least if the city hasn't yet grown densely around the factories - originally, factories tend to be set up on the outskirts of cities (cheaper real estate, less conflict over pollution and noise), but they can become enveloped by poor residential neighbourhoods as the city grows. in such a case, there may not be enough space nearby to build water treatment plants.
the government needs to reduce the monetary infentive of not spending money on pollution reduction to gain a competetive edge. I think if it didn't disadvantage them, a lot of factory owners could be convinced to make an effort to not poison the local population as much. it would certainly earn them some popularity.
Those cities were pearls of the east before industrial revolution, full of crafts and arts. It's sad to see how they ended up after the rat race and hunger for money got to them.

However our tap water is also not safe to drink so i bought a filter system to make my water potable. i hope there could be an initiative in faisalabad to donate water filtration systems at home at least
Im sick of our politicians to the brim, its so sad to wish to be national of some other country, we don't deserve this
thats 100% true , the water conditions in other mega cities are also almost same but yet there is no work done to control the damage , it will only get worse with time .
Please only purchase new stuff when the old stuff is unusable
Thank God I live in a area with fresh clean water not many people have this "privilege" I hope people of Faisalabad figure out a way to keep their water clean and they should protest against these factories that are polluting their water lack of education on this subject is the reason they haven't done much about it

Good Report. Hoping authorities do something
Minimum salery in Pakistan is 25000 rupees but in Masood textile thousands of poor workers are doing job at 18000 rupees only..
I find it crazy that even the bottled water is too often unsafe for consumption
This is common in whole of South Asia...pollution levels in water, land is very high...plus land area with high population
Not all bottled water is the same, there are small local filters setup which are bottling water. These don't maintain same levels of quality as name brand companies (like Coca cola/Nestle/Pepsi etc.). often times the "filtered" water by these small local producers is regular tap water which has been passed through normal cylindrical filters and has not had any special treatment done to it like Reverse osmosis
Me too. Really appreciated. I wonder why can't the big companies like Arrowhead, Crystal Guyser, Dasani or Evian bring in bottle water for these people? Those companies should be able to do that considering how they make millions of dollars. Lastly, if these people were to boil the water at a high temperature, wouldn't that kill some or most of the bacteria? Then it would be safe to use.
@@boohere2 most bottled water is toxic plastic leaches into the water when poured hot opt for a water distiller and add minerals. Heating the water sterilizes it killing all the organisms but it still leaves heavy metals and other contaminants. Continue to boil contaminated water and you may end up concentrating the toxins.

If you are thinking about water then yes it's extremely salty. As the wastes seep to the water levels underground. That water is mostly used for cleaning and not drinking.
Water from a stream (that runs through the city) is usually processed/cleaned and send out , which is used for cooking and drinking.

Down here in Mumbai and even in the villages, such actions would lead to several crackdown by civil authority and the shut down of entire industrial units. I am truly sorry for the conditions they have to go through
Same situation in India, I don't know where you live but the situation in UP is very similar. The textile and leather industries are big pollutants.
@@binod7623 ikr, it surprises me that they are still even allowed to function
Dude we still have same situation in India .Basti mai jao toh dikhega na unse poocho pata chalega
Lmaooo, y'all have a worse situation in India tho
@@abreshmina2641 ye atteast we trying to fix it tho
It seems like Pakistani people and the government don't have the luxury to sit in on this information or follow the wait-and-see policy on this issue. They need to act fast to solve this problem otherwise they will get screwed.
Great video thanks for the info
Fashion or Life??? which is more important....
First :)
i am from faisalabad and confirm that
Horrible, government must be serious about environment and water
Set up a communal treatment plant and charge factories for it.
🎯
Pakistani here. waiting for them Muties n Rad-Roaches to appear any time now. fingers crossed 🤞
We don't really care about the water on some distant country. All we can about is a low price, high quality product being delivered to us to satisfy our hunger for consumption
This is a problem of government corruption not fast fashion. This problem is solved by water treatment plants in the factory but to save money the factory owner don't have them and pay bribe to authorities. My family makes water treatment system for textile industry in India so I know about this issue.
Thanks for highlighting the issue. At the same time I’m unsure as to how many people will actually be moved by it and take action to sort out this problem. Particular to Pakistan, this whole thing is a combo of lack of education, lack of access to info, greed of the people including the manufacturers, selfishness of the business proprietors, poor administration by city and municipalities responsible for tackling these issues and implementing solutions as the people sitting in those offices most of the times get appointed through influence of politicians whom they keep voting for all the wrong reasons. So all in all it’s a multilayered heap of problems with corruption and lack of education at its core. Not easy to fix. The only solution is to relocate all these units to a dedicated industrial zones but if anyone dares such a step the textile association brainless heads with political motives will start calling strikes just to earn brownie points for the next elections and everybody will continue living their daily horror stories. Where there is a will, there is a way. Politicians, public and the city administration have to firmly come to a single focal point to sort it out. The day they come forward with a solid resolve and a proper action plan, this problem will be sorted within a matter of a few months. Leadership and taking ownership is what is required here. Rest will be a piece of cake.
Of course h get an ad for Shein before this
Same happens in india in all cities wich produce textile goods
