From linear to circular fashion: is it new trend or necessity?

Abstract

We live in turbulent world. Issues such as climate change, unlimited use of natural resources and work forces have initiated concerns within the wider society about the way the fashion industry currently operates. There is a growing awareness that our economy needs to be changed. Actually, on the different levels is discussing the conception of transition to circular economy. This provides careful attitude to all types of resources and changing values of things. These challenges completely attributes to the fashion value chain which include different stages: production (including design); services; marketing; retail; end of use/life (e.g. reparation/transformation/recycling) by creating the new business models in circular economy.
