Ken Pucker responds to his readers’ critiques of his Up for Debate article “A Circle That Isn’t Easily Squared” and reiterates his call for a systemic shift in how the fashion industry does business.
Funders must examine how to realistically drive measurable progress on sustainability in the fashion industry.
People working within fashion supply chains must collaborate to determine where and how their evolving business models can contribute to circularity.
Rather than canning the circular-economy concept altogether, business leaders and policy makers should prioritize sufficiency over recycling.
Opportunities for innovative solutions exist across all areas of the value chain, including design, supply chain technologies, and molecular recycling.
Collaboration is an essential driver for discovering and scaling innovative approaches that can move the fashion industry toward circularity.
