Economia circular aplicada aos têxteis: uma abordagem teórica

Abstract

The textile industry is one of the most polluting in the world, due to inadequate disposal of waste and extraction of natural resources, boosted by fashion trends adopted by the fast fashion segment. Thus, the objective of this work is to use bibliographic concepts and present alternatives for the implementation of the circular economy applied to textiles, and presenter recycling methodologies and reuse in post­consumer clothing. In this context, exploratory research was used, based on articles, books and academic works, in order to justify the achievement of the initial objective of this work. It was verified, therefore, that the linear model used by fast fashion is inefficient, from a sustainable point of view and requires a transition to the circular model and to slow fashion, the work developed that the main contributions that the industry can make to the environment is to improve the mixing of raw material; sustainable logistics; packaging and reduce overproduction.
