Abstract
In recent years, a reduced product lifetime due to a low quality and increased affordability of clothes, led to generation of huge volume of textile waste. Fast fashion trends are based on the unsustainable consumption patterns and encourage disposability of clothes. In order to reduce the environmental and climate change impacts of textile production, circular business model should be implemented for sustainable consumption and usage of raw materials, energy, water and land, as well as for decreasing emission of polluting substances during production phase. One of the main aims of circularity is to reduce volume of waste to a minimum and keep the materials within the production loop as long as possible. Other than textile production improvements, consumption patterns and social habits should undergo changes in order to make clothing production more environmentally sustainable and responsible.
