Textiles circularity
Royal College of Art, London, UK.
Abstract or Description: | The Textiles Circularity Centre’s research has revealed that for people to adopt sustainability practices, the means to enact them must be embedded into our culture. Our research has therefore focused on designing the means for people, be they consumers, businesses, NGOS, local governments, to practice circular economy in place-based settings, such as on the high street. To this end, we have focused on SMEs and start-ups in fashion-apparel brands and designers, manufacturing, materials, repair/upcycle, waste collection, as well as local government and NGOs, as they are already active in local settings. The book concludes with our Design Manifesto for a circular economy. This book marks the end of the Textiles Circularity Centre’s journey, and we hope that our research inspires others to address the core challenge of effecting a cultural transformation to grow the reuse sector in order to reduce the environmental impacts of apparel. |
