“…There is a great potential for the textile recycling sector to contribute to the circular economy ( Baruque-Ramos et al, 2017). It can reduce the production of new textiles from virgin materials and hence reduce the use of water, energy and chemicals in the production chain (Dahlbo et al, 2017).…”

“…In Brazil there are several projects, brands and stylists working with upcycling in fashion (Table 2). In general, these projects aim to add value and empower consumers, suppliers and involved workers, as well as to reduce waste by reusing and recycling (Baruque-Ramos et al, 2017). These outcomes contribute to improving the quality of life of citizens and bring economic benefits.…”

“…In Brazil, recyclable waste collectors, most of whom live in poverty, are integrated into a cooperative or association and supported by local government. They contribute to neighbourhood improvement, waste cleaning, demonstrating resource recovery behaviours, and creating opportunities for greater community cohesion (Baruque-Ramos et al, 2017). Every phase of the life cycle of textile waste recycling (i.e.…”

The textile/apparel industry is of great importance to the economy in terms of trade, employment, investment and revenue all over the world. This sector is however characterised by substantial ulture on the other. This state of affairs suggests that textile recycling is needed. Apart from the environmental and ecological advantages which can be brought about by the re-use and recycling of textiles, there are many benefits of a socio-economicnature. This paper analyses current trends on textile recycling, the barriers impeding greater recycling, and outlines the socioeconomic advantages of moving towards a circular economy. Some examples of ongoing initiatives are discussed, together with some of the measures that may be used to further reduce the current waste deriving from the apparel sector.

“…This approach also fails to recognize the massive socio-cultural change that a CE entails by transforming consumption and production structures based on materialism, convenience, and ownership to ones based on collaborative consumption, sharing economies and usevalue (Frenken, 2017;Hobson, 2019;Lazarevic and Valve, 2017;Pomponi and Moncaster, 2017). When some of those social and cultural topics are addressed in the literature, it is dominantly done through commercial approaches, such as new business models for the private sector rather than from the perspective of a transformative social and solidarity economy (with some notable exceptions such as Baruque-Ramos et al, 2017;Chaves Ávila and Monzón Campos, 2018;Gutberlet et al, 2017;Hobson and Lynch, 2016;Moreau et al, 2017;Schröder et al, 2019a). Yet this is a key topic as evidenced by the work of Kirchherr et al, (2018) which found that practitioners see cultural barriers as the main barriers to a CE transition.…”

Developing dynamic capabilities for the circular economy in the textile and clothing industry in Italy: A natural‐resource‐based view

Implementing the circular economy (CE) through the design of a restorative industrial system is a major challenge. This study investigates the capabilities that underpin the circular competitive advantages of firms in the textile and clothing industry in Italy, which is one of the country's most polluting sectors. We have developed a framework of dynamic capabilities needed for circular transition, using the theoretical lenses of a natural‐resource‐based view. Using a multiple‐case study, the strategies of pollution prevention, product stewardship, and sustainable development and the associated capabilities of sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring are investigated. Internal practices, the role of the downstream actors in the supply chain, co‐creation dynamics with external actors, and the social potential of the CE emerge as key factors. Managers may also benefit from our recommendations aimed at increasing the environmental performance of their firms and scaling up their born‐circular businesses.
