Dezvoltarea unor produse sustenabile prin aplicarea principiilor modei circulare

Abstract

Climate change, resource draining and the destruction of the natural environment are existential crises for humanity. The fashion and textile industry has a significant negative impact on the environment, society and is cited as the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG) globally. The urgency to reduce the climate change effects has never been more important, with industry facing unprecedented challenges to meet consumer needs.

The future of fashion will need to transform radically as the entire value chain moves towards sustainable and responsible practices in a world with limited resources. In response to this need for transformation comes the idea of sustainable and circular fashion. This transformation requires innovation in business model design, technology and social practices by adopting specific drivers of policy making, education and behavior change. The paper presents the results of a study on circular fashion and the application of the principles of circularity and sustainability for the development of new products.
