We at Customized Clothing are aiming to adopt the circular economy principles. ☑ Reduce Waste: When businesses design products with durability, repairability, and recyclability in mind, they can minimize the use of virgin resources and maximize the value derived from materials. This shift towards a product lifecycle-based mindset allows for a more sustainable production model which not only benefits the environment but also enhances brand reputation and consumer loyalty. ☑ Resale/Repair: Take-back programs for used garments and textiles have gained significant momentum in recent years. These initiatives enable customers to return their worn-out clothing, which is then repurposed or recycled into new products. ☑ Disposal-first Approach: Designing products with end-of-life considerations in mind is a crucial aspect of the circular economy. Businesses employing modular design or incorporating easily separable components can facilitate the recycling and repurposing of products at the end of their lifecycle.
I will be speaking at Pure London x JATC tomorrow about circularity, trends and the future of fashion. It's free to come along, sign up and see the full program below!
