Kurzbeschreibung:

Using life cycle assessment, the study compares the global warming potential (GWP) of five ownership and end-of-life scenarios for creating and using a pair of jeans. The scenarios are as follows: (a) BASE, i.e. basic use with waste disposal; (b) REDUCE, i.e. extended use; (c) REUSE, i.e. reselling; (d) RECYCLE, i.e. industrial processing into new raw materials; and (e) SHARE, i.e. a rental service. Our results show that the lowest global warming impacts are achieved in the REDUCE scenario, and the second lowest are achieved in the REUSE scenario. The RECYCLE scenario leads to relatively high overall emissions because the replaced emissions from cotton production are relatively low. The use of rental services is likely to increase customers’ mobility, and if that happens in a large scale, then the SHARE scenario has the highest GWP. It was found that many new CE innovations come with a high rebound risk, and existing practices carry similar, yet smaller risks.

Kurzbeschreibung:

The EU is one of the biggest global markets for textiles and home to many of the sector’s most powerful companies. Decades of voluntary self-regulation have led to textiles and clothing value chains becoming synonymous with the use of huge amounts of our planet’s finite natural resources, pollution from hazardous chemicals, the production of high levels of waste, poor working conditions, and human rights violations.
To end the global overuse of resources and the transgression of planetary boundaries, all industries need to change; the textile industry is no exception. In this position paper, ‘Wardrobe Change’, a coalition of environmental civil society organisations, is calling for the EU Textile Strategy to be a coherent overarching framework which ties together the many different policies that are needed to set Europe on a transformative path to sustainable textile production and consumption.

Chemical Circularity in Fashion

Herausgeber_in: Colour Connections

Autor_in: Phil Patterson

Schlagwörter: Ausrüstung, Chemikalien, Circular Economy, Fasern, Färben, Kreislaufwirtschaft, Lederproduktion, Lieferketten, Nachhaltigkeit, Textilindustrie, Umweltaspekte

Kurzbeschreibung:

The fashion industry has to change its relationship with chemicals as a matter of urgency.
The way in which chemicals are currently used and disposed of makes textiles the second most polluting industry in the world. Furthermore, the extraction, production, transportation, and remediation of those chemicals are a significant contributor to climate change.
As world fibre consumption passes 100 million tonnes per annum, the time has come to take a step back and challenge whether current, single-use models for chemicals used in the conversion of fibres to finished textile products should be allowed to continue.
Chemicals are used in yarn spinning, weaving, knitting and wet processing (e.g. dyeing, printing, finishing, laundry) and are typically used once only. After use in a particular process, they are either passed to the next actor in a supply chain on a product, removed and dumped into the environment, or partially remediated and dumped into the environment.
This can be described as a single-use linear model because there is usually no attempt to recycle or reuse the chemical prior to disposal.
This report is aimed at providing chemical suppliers and chemical users in the supply chain with recommendations and suggestions on how to move away from single-use linear models and increase the recycling and reuse of textile chemicals – referred to in the report as non-linear use models. The recommendations and suggestions for change include a call for the wider use of existing good practice and the need for research and development. The intention is to highlight what is possible, what should be possible and what could be possible. This therefore raises many questions that will need to be addressed from both a technical and behavioural perspective.

Circular Economy Action Agenda: Textiles

Herausgeber_in: PACE Platform for Accelerating the circular economy

Autor_in: Alvise Lisca, Jessica Feeley, Andrés Oliva Lozano, Ke Wang

Schlagwörter: Bekleidungsindustrie, Circular Economy, Klimawandel, Kreislaufwirtschaft, Lieferketten, Menschenrechte, Nachhaltigkeit, Transformation, Umweltaspekte

Kurzbeschreibung:

Textiles have long been an integral part of our daily lives and society, providing employment for hundreds of millions of people and creating tremendous economic value. However, the industry’s significant ecological footprint, as well as its health and social risks, have come under increasing scrutiny. There is urgent need for transformation.
How can circular strategies contribute? Three objectives have been formulated based on converging visions of a circular economy for textiles: inputs for textiles are safe and recycled or renewable; textiles are kept in use for longer; and textiles are recyclable and recycled at end-of-use.
Researchers have already documented the challenges from the textiles value chain today, the need for a transition to a circular economy, and the systemic change required for the transition. This report builds on the existing literature to identify the actions needed for a better and faster transition to a circular economy for textiles. Each report has four main chapters: Objectives, Impact, Barriers, and Actions

Kurzbeschreibung:

In the unparalleled response to the Covid-19 pandemic, trillions of dollars in economic stimulus have been made available around the world while the calls for a recovery that is in alignment with other global challenges, have never been louder. Many see beyond the pandemic a rare opportunity to build a resilient and low-carbon economic recovery. Achieving this goal requires governments to take critical actions that not only focus on safeguarding national economies during crises, but that also pave the way toward a wider economic transformation that is more resilient against future global risks.

The circular economy, as an instrument to decouple economic growth from resource use and environmental impact, opens up the way for a resilient recovery. It not only addresses the negative impacts of the linear economy, but more importantly it represents a systemic shift that builds long-term resilience, generates business and economic opportunities, and provides environmental and societal benefits.

Chapter 7 and 8 gives ideas and solutions for the fashion industry especially for rental business models and recycling infrastructure.

Vision of a circular economy for fashion

Herausgeber_in: Ellen MacArthur Foundation

Zielgruppe: Student_innen, Erwachsene

Medien: Hintergrundinformationen

Schlagwörter: Altkleider, Circular Economy, Cradle to Cradle, Chemikalien, Design, Innovation, Konsum, Kreislaufwirtschaft, Leihen, Mikroplastik, Produktlebenszyklus, Recycling, Textilfasern, Umweltbelastung, Upcycling

Kurzbeschreibung:

A circular economy tackles the root causes of global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, while creating opportunities for better growth. It is underpinned by three principles, all led by design: eliminate waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use, and regenerate natural systems.

For fashion, it means ensuring that products (apparel, footwear, accessories) are used more, are made to be made again, and are made from safe and recycled or renewable inputs. A circular economy for fashion creates better products and services for customers, contributes to a resilient and thriving fashion industry, and regenerates the environment. In delivering the vision, the rights and equity of all people involved in the fashion industry are prioritised.

The report provides common definitions and explanations to underpin the vision, aiming to support transparency and consistency. The section builds on ISO and BSI definitions where applicable.

Medien: Hintergrundinformationen

Schlagwörter: Arbeitsbedingungen, Bekleidungsindustrie, Circular Economy, Globalisierung, Klima, Klimawandel, Lieferkette, Lohn, Marken, Menschenrechtsverletzungen, Mindestlohn, soziale Verantwortung, Textilindustrie, Umweltverschmutzung

Kurzbeschreibung:

This first edition of the Report on the Pulse of the Fashion Industry exposes the challenges in a number of sustainability impact areas and along the industry’s value chain, from design and development to end-of-life for apparel and footwear. It aims to provide transparency on the industry’s stance in terms of its environmental, social, and ethical footprints— topics that have been much debated, yet without a common baseline and framework against which to evaluate change. It also reviews ways in which the industry can maintain and even strengthen its profitability despite the pressures of rising costs.

The overarching objective of the report is to provide a direction and guidance towards a better fashion industry. As a starting point, the report provides a common fact base on the current sustainability performance of the industry. Based on that it lays out a Landscape for Change and presents pragmatic, concrete, and economical actions that are already available for producing palpable change. The report promotes collaboration and innovation as main drivers to accelerate change.

The performance is regularly updated once a year: https://www.globalfashionagenda.com/publications-and-policy/pulse-of-the-industry/

Kurzbeschreibung:

The annual report 2016 of the Federal Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt) focuses on three topics: Fashion and textiles, environmental costs of products and sustainable consumption.

Fashion and textiles – The prize of beauty: Every year, there are up to twelve new collections in the clothing stores on Germany's high streets. But this fast fashion is having a huge impact on the environment and on the people who live in manufacturing countries.

Environmental costs of products – Money and the environment: A flight to Barcelona for EUR 20, a kilogram of pork for EUR 3 - we're still miles away from full ecological prices. This might cost us dearly in the future. What should the state do?

Sustainable consumption: The dominant lifestyle choices and consumption patterns of people in industrialised countries are increasingly testing the resilience of the global environment.

Kurzbeschreibung:
The time has come to transition to a textile system that delivers better economic, societal, and environmental outcomes. The report A new textiles economy: Redesigning fashion’s future outlines a vision and sets out ambitions and actions – based on the principles of a circular economy – to design out negative impacts and capture a USD 500 billion economic opportunity by truly transforming the way clothes are designed, sold, and used.

Beyond laudable ongoing efforts, a new system for the textiles economy is needed and this report proposes a vision aligned with circular economy principles. In such a model, clothes, fabric, and fibres re-enter the economy after use and never end up as waste. Achieving a new textiles economy will demand unprecedented levels of alignment. A system-level change approach is required and one which will capture the opportunities missed by the current linear textiles system.
