Description

This research analyses the expert opinion of fashionand textile industry stakeholders internationally, to understand what drives or hinders the purposeful re-engineering of India’s textile recycling industry to remediate its human and environmental impacts.

The findings detail how stakeholder engagement has significantly decreased, as industry value chains have become more globalised in recent decades. By applying linear rather than circular principles when mapping value chain impacts, has ignored their responsibility to manage upstream and downstream textile waste.

Ultimately, the recommendations of this research provide pragmatic and scalable recommendations for collaborative remedial action for effective industry change on a global scale.
