The textiles industry's linear "take-make-waste" model has a significant environmental impact. To counter this, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation proposes universal circular economy policy goals. A key objective is to "make the economics work," fostering circular business models (resale, rental, repair) through incentives and regulations to make them the norm.
An April 27th episode explored how policy can enable this transition in fashion and textiles. Experts from the European Commission, European Environment Agency, and Swedish EPA shared perspectives on increasing circular business model adoption.

Much of our discarded waste, from sauce sachets to mobile phones, pollutes landfills, gets incinerated, or harms our environment. This linear "take-make-dispose" system damages the natural world we depend on.
The circular economy offers a sustainable alternative. It aims to eliminate waste, keep products in use, and regenerate nature by cycling materials, much like natural systems where nothing is wasted.
