Circular Economy vs. Linear Economy
Written by Jo Lorenz
The fashion industry has a problem. It’s called sustainability.
Cumulatively, the fashion industry produces approximately 20 percent of all global water waste. Additionally, 85 percent of textiles end up in landfills or are incinerated, when most of these materials could be reused.
Yet over the last few years, the fashion industry and its consumers have finally started focusing more on the humongous problem of sustainability. Consequently, a big (and necessary!) spotlight has been cast on the circular economy as an alternative to the old linear economy that the fashion industry has exhausted for so long.
