circular textile economy

A circular textile economy is a sustainable approach to producing, using, and recycling textiles (like clothing and fabrics). Instead of the traditional linear model—where resources are mined, used once, and then discarded—the circular model aims to keep textiles in use longer, repair or repurpose them, and recycle fibers into new products. This reduces waste, conserves resources, and minimizes environmental impact. It promotes designing textiles with their entire lifecycle in mind, encouraging reuse and better waste management, ultimately creating a more sustainable, efficient, and responsible textile industry.
