“…In addition to these insights into the relationship between digitalisation and the CE, another major contribution of the paper is its operational framework and action list matrix (Table 5) derived from the research findings, which can be used as a framework for companies intent on adopting circular economy practices. Thus, the article makes a small contribution to practice and complements the existing literature on digitalisation and the CE in the T&C industry, adding to the perspectives put forward by other authors in different geographical contexts [12,71,88].…”

“…Pal and Jayarathne [71] provide some insights into how different digital technologies can be applied in the T&C industry, including 3D design, artificial intelligence, and Big Data, and the authors discuss "the potential for the adoption of circular economy principles enabled by digitalization, including innovative resale and sharing models" (p. 255). They conclude, however, that there remain "a number of barriers that currently prevent widespread digitalization of the CSCs, which are related to lack of available technology, economic viability, strategic development and digital knowhow" (p. 267).…”

The textile and clothing (T&C) industry is not usually viewed as an exemplar of sustainable development and the circular economy (CE), as the industry has hitherto developed its products in a linear fashion, with relatively little recycling of the finished goods. This article examines the industry’s approach to the core sustainability concept and the CE in particular through a review of the available academic literature, evidence from corporate sustainability reports and websites, and feedback from an online survey of industry professionals. More specifically, the article investigates how German T&C companies are addressing sustainability in their corporate strategies and what activities relating to the CE are being pursued in the industry. The role of digital technologies in the transition to sustainability and the CE in the German T&C industry is also explored. The study finds that whilst sustainability is now firmly embedded at the strategic level in the vast majority of the companies studied, attitudes towards the CE are mixed. The use of digital technologies in support of sustainability objectives is also limited at present, but the need to meet compliance requirements and new customer perceptions of sustainability will speed the transition to CE activities, which will be facilitated by the greater exploitation of these technologies. An operational framework for initiating such a transition is developed, and action lists in the key areas of change—organization, products, and processes—are presented. These may be used as a guideline for practitioners, and the findings also make a small contribution to the scarcity of literature in this field of research.

“…During the environmental crisis of the late 1980s, the apparel companies Patagonia and Komodo introduced the concept of sustainable fashion in 1985and 1988respectively. In 2007, an international trend forecasting organization, based on her research on economics, consumer goods, technology, and architecture, predicted that sustainable apparel would become the focus of society (Obregón, 2012;Pal & Jayarathne, 2022). Due to the complex and dynamically changing attributes of the fashion industry, sustainable fashion is studied in a broader context, including the product life cycle, the entire process of product production, stakeholders within the system, impacts on a global scale, and consumer value reinvention.…”

Several studies on sustainable fashion have been reported. However, there needs to be more literature dealing with the scientometric analysis of sustainable fashion. To understand the current status of sustainable fashion, this study aimed to use bibliometric analysis and historical review to highlight recent research in sustainable fashion, to predict future research hotspots and trends in sustainable fashion, and to summarise and analyse the shortcomings in sustainable fashion. The Web of Science core database was searched for 573 publications on sustainable fashion up to 31 December 2023. VOSviewer and CiteSpace software were used to perform visual analyses.

“…Based on this model identified, would technology, such as AI, change these configurations in the future? Unfortunately, CSCs have yet to be applied entirely to be automated; thus, this barrier led to low-cost and labourintensive manufacturing (Pal & Jayarathne, 2022). Correspondingly, the Asian market, including China, Bangladesh, and Vietnam, is still labour-intensive, with many raw materials and apparel manufacturers.…”

This is my sixth consecutive year of doing the research. As China is still the engine of world economy, there is a rapid increase in the number of foreign students coming to The University of Hong Kong to learn Chinese. As Chinese is one of the popular subjects for them to choose. Despite COVID-19, from 2022 to 2023, there are still around 900 foreign students come to the University of Hong Kong to learn Chinese as a Foreign Language courses. A language teacher is a facilitator and an instructor of Chinese learning for foreign students. However, in the real world, there are always some good language learners and some less talented language learners in one classroom. So what is the secret of the Good Chinese Learners? What can the language instructors do in order to support good Chinese learners and help the less talented learners to learn Chinese? In the TESOL field, there are a lot of researches have been done by scholars. In the early 1970s, several researchers isolated and defined the concept of Good Language Learner. But in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language field, there are relatively fewer researches. So from January 2017 to May 2023, I conducted a survey about good Chinese learners in CHIN9503 and CHIN9504 classes. The survey consisted of an interview with several questions and I will discuss the result of a survey and its implications in this paper.
