Modeling Fast Fashion Dynamics with Differential Equations

Fast fashion contributes to environmental degradation, yet its full impact remains unclear due to limited data. Initially, we modeled overproduction using a logistic growth model but transitioned to a two-variable system due to data constraints. We applied a competing species Lotka-Volterra model to exam- ine the dynamic between fast fashion and thrift stores. This research explores the unexpected mutualistic relationship between these industries.
