Helping the Environment
The circular economy is a comprehensive approach that aims to stop clothing from ending up in landfills by focusing on product durability, repair, resale, recycling, and responsible consumer behaviour.
It offers numerous benefits for both the environment and the economy and is a critical strategy in addressing the fashion industry’s sustainability challenges.
