Circular Fashion

About

Circular fashion is a transformative approach in the fashion industry, shifting from the traditional linear model of "take-make-dispose" to a more sustainable "take-make-reuse" system. This paradigm emphasizes the reuse and recycling of materials to minimize waste and reduce environmental impact. Key principles include designing garments for longevity, using sustainable materials, and implementing end-of-life strategies such as recycling and upcycling. This approach encourages consumers to value quality over quantity and supports a culture of sustainability. Circular fashion involves innovative business models like clothing rental and resale markets, which extend the life cycle of garments. It also promotes education on product care and maintenance to further reduce waste. By fostering a closed-loop system, circular fashion aims to keep resources in use for as long as possible, ultimately reducing pollution and reliance on new raw materials. This holistic approach aligns with broader circular economy principles, seeking to create a regenerative system that maximizes resource efficiency and minimizes waste.
