Definition – What is Circular Economy??
The current so called linear economy (throwaway economy) is
based on depleting finite reserves to create products that end up in landfills or in incinerators.

Definition – What is Circular Economy??
The circular economy is a generic term for an industrial economy that is
producing no waste and pollution and in which material flows are of two types: designed to reenter the biosphere safely or to circulate at high quality in the production system. An important factor is the recycling of goods as secondary raw materials as well as the multiple use.

Overall apparel consumption will rise by 63%, from 62 million tons today
to 102 million tons in 2030 – an equivalent of more than 500 billion t-shirts 85% our clothes end up

What is needed/ can be done from the production side?
Consumers become more demanding, more discerning and less predictable
in their purchasing behavior
The fashion system the way it is oldfashioned and starts reshaping. Brands
start looking inward, implementing changes to the coreoperations = shortening the length of the fashion cycle to integrating sustainable innovation into the core product, design and manufacturing process
Global Fashion Agenda: Copenhagen Fashion Summit Commitment

What can we do??
14.10.2017 Circular Economy - Marina Chahboune 41
What is needed/ can be done from the production side?
Brands need to find partners/ productions/ suppliers with whom they can achieve these aims!!!
Offering high quality/ longlasting products Setting up a network/ cooperation with fabric & accessoires suppliers Being able to offer appropriate fabrics ( -> research fabrics already available in the market:
like s.Cafe, Reworx & Infinito, Econyl, Bionic yarn, Seaqual, Recovertex, YKK Natulon, Filatures du Parc, Orta, Hempfortex…etc)
New skills, understanding and knowledge of sustainability und circular economy Potential certificats (LEED…etc) Initiating collecting systems for clippings/ textile waste Specializing in redesign and upcycling (e.g. training one line),
Zero Waste pattern making
ACT RATHER THAN REACT!!!
Design process/ product development
14.10.2017 Circular Economy - Marina Chahboune 42
Design for rebirth Is it a longlive product? Is it a high quality product? Is this product timeless or trend-driven? Is this product multifunctional or transformable? Is it made from monomaterials only? Is it recyclable? Is it possible to separtat all components? Is the fabric from recycled fibers? Is the product developed for the tech- or bio-cycle? Is it a zero waste or waste optimized pattern?
Benefits
14.10.2017 Circular Economy - Marina Chahboune 43
Resource efficiency <-> Shortage of resources/ natural capital Economic growth -> the availability of materials & energy can limit opportunities
(circular economy is decoupling here)
Cost savings -> giving access to cheaper material inputs & reducing waste
management costs & environmental costs (e.g. reduced greenhouse gas emissions)
New revenue streams -> by supplying additional products Improved customer relationship Remain competitive
Meeting new and emerging market needs and expectations – now and into the future!!!!
