Abstract

Abstract The textiles production and consumption system is a priority product-value chain for the European Commission in its 2020 Circular Economy Action Plan. The Action Plan foresees a European Union strategy for sustainable textiles in a circular economy with the aim of creating markets for sustainable and circular textile products, services, and business models. The European Environment Agency (EEA) and its Topic Center on Waste and Materials in a Green Economy (ETC/WMGE) have shown that consumption of clothing, footwear, and household textiles in Europe is on average the fourth highest category of environmental and climate impacts from a consumption perspective and from a vantage point that considers the entire life cycle. The fashion industry is responsible for more than 60% of total textiles used and clothing is expected to remain the largest application of textiles in the future. To enable a sustainable and circular textiles system, a transformation of fashion production and consumption is needed. This transformation requires innovation in business-model design, technology, and social practices through the adoption of specific policy making, education, and behavioral change enablers. In this Brief Report, we present a framework to map and advance the implementation and scaling of circular business models. This is illustrated by exploring four different circular business-model approaches for fashion and textiles, including models based on product durability; access models based on renting, leasing, and sharing; garment collection and resale; and recycling and reuse of materials. For each business-model type, we discuss enablers based on technical and social innovations and policy, behavioral change, and education.
时尚和纺织品的循环商业模式框架:商业模式、技术和社会创新的作用
纺织品生产和消费系统是欧盟委员会2020年循环经济行动计划中优先考虑的产品价值链。该行动计划预测了欧盟在循环经济中可持续纺织品的战略,旨在为可持续和循环纺织品、服务和商业模式创造市场。欧洲环境署(EEA)及其绿色经济中的废物和材料主题中心(ETC/WMGE)表明,从消费的角度和从考虑整个生命周期的有利角度来看,欧洲的服装、鞋类和家用纺织品的消费平均是对环境和气候影响的第四大类别。时尚行业占总纺织品使用量的60%以上,预计服装仍将是未来纺织品的最大应用领域。为了实现可持续和循环的纺织品系统,需要转变时装生产和消费方式。这种转变需要通过采用具体的政策制定、教育和行为改变推动者,在商业模式设计、技术和社会实践方面进行创新。在这份简要报告中,我们提出了一个框架来规划和推进循环商业模式的实施和扩展。通过探索时尚和纺织品的四种不同的循环商业模式方法来说明这一点,包括基于产品耐用性的模型;基于租赁、租赁、共享的接入模式;服装收集及转售;以及材料的回收和再利用。对于每种业务模型类型,我们将讨论基于技术和社会创新以及政策、行为变化和教育的促成因素。

期刊介绍: Sustainability: Science, Practice and Policy is a refereed, open-access journal which recognizes that climate change and other socio-environmental challenges require significant transformation of existing systems of consumption and production. Complex and diverse arrays of societal factors and institutions will in coming decades need to reconfigure agro-food systems, implement renewable energy sources, and reinvent housing, modes of mobility, and lifestyles for the current century and beyond. These innovations will need to be formulated in ways that enhance global equity, reduce unequal access to resources, and enable all people on the planet to lead flourishing lives within biophysical constraints. The journal seeks to advance scientific and political perspectives and to cultivate transdisciplinary discussions involving researchers, policy makers, civic entrepreneurs, and others. The ultimate objective is to encourage the design and deployment of both local experiments and system innovations that contribute to a more sustainable future by empowering individuals and organizations and facilitating processes of social learning.
