Annually, the fast fashion sector, which also includes Temu, is responsible for producing an astronomical 92million tons of waste and consuming nearly 79trillion litres of water to produce the cheap bargains - that come at a cost.
ULTRA-LOW prices, new items landing online every day and practically anything you could ever need just a click away - it's no wonder Temu has become one of the fastest-growing online retailers.
Unsurprisingly, these huge savings have seen a staggering 20million people in the UK download the app in 2023 - making Temu the most popular shopping app amongst Britons.
According to a Temu spokesperson, who insisted that the safety of their customers is their ''top priority'', the marketplace ''has a thorough process for vetting sellers, monitoring product listings and feedback, and enforcing compliance with platform rules and regulatory requirements''.
Like with many fast fashion brands, such as rival Shein, there are also great concerns about the environmental impact Temu is having on the planet.
