The Rise of Sustainable Fashion

Circular Fashion and Closed-Loop Systems

Circular Fashion

Circular fashion is an approach to fashion design, production and consumption that emphasizes minimizing waste and maximizing the use of resources. It is a closed-loop system that focuses on designing clothes that can be reused or recycled, thereby reducing the amount of waste generated by the fashion industry. The circular fashion system is based on the principles of the circular economy, which is an economic system that aims to eliminate waste and promote efficient use of resources by keeping them in use as long as possible.

Closed-Loop Systems

Closed-loop systems ensure that materials remain in use as long as possible, thereby reducing waste and the use of new resources. In a closed-loop system, waste is designed out of the system, and products are designed to be reused or recycled at the end of their life cycle. This approach to fashion production and consumption can help to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry.

Examples of Circular Fashion Systems

  • Cradle to Cradle Certification: This is a certification program that evaluates the sustainability of a product's design and production. Products that are Cradle to Cradle certified are designed to be reused or recycled at the end of their life cycle, and they are made from materials that are safe for human health and the environment.
  • H&M's Conscious Collection: A collection of clothes made from sustainable materials and designed to be reused or recycled at the end of their life cycle.
