CIRCULAR ECONOMY – c Closing the Loop for apparel & footwear Circular Economy - Marina Chahboune 14.10.2017 1

Definition – What is Circular Economy??  The current so called linear economy (throwaway economy) is based on depleting finite reserves to create products that end up in landfills or in incinerators. Circular Economy - Marina Chahboune 14.10.2017 2

Definition – What is Circular Economy??  The circular economy is a generic term for an industrial economy that is producing no waste and pollution and in which material flows are of two types: designed to reenter the biosphere safely or to circulate at high quality in the production system. An important factor is the recycling of goods as secondary raw materials as well as the multiple use. Circular Economy - Marina Chahboune 14.10.2017 3

Waste-Hierarchy Quantity Priority Circular Economy - Marina Chahboune 14.10.2017 4

Reasons to go circular: Growing population (9,7 billion until 2050) • Increasing demand for textile fibers (emerging markets , dublicating until • 2030) shortage of resources (finite resources) • Increasing environmental pollution, landfill (especially textile waste) • Ecological overshoot (Earth overshoot day, during the 1970s we passed • the point at which the annual Ecological Footprint matched the Earth’s annual biocapacity) Circular Economy - Marina Chahboune 14.10.2017 5

Reasons to go circular:  Overall apparel consumption will rise by 63%, from 62 million tons today to 102 million tons in 2030 – an equivalent of more than 500 billion t-shirts 85% our clothes end up on landfills!! Circular Economy - Marina Chahboune 14.10.2017 6

Reasons to go circular:  The Planetary Boundaries 2015 & 2013 Circular Economy - Marina Chahboune 14.10.2017 7

What can we do??  What is needed/ can be done from the production side?  Consumers become more demanding, more discerning and less predictable in their purchasing behavior  The fashion system the way it is oldfashioned and starts reshaping. Brands start looking inward, implementing changes to the coreoperations = shortening the length of the fashion cycle to integrating sustainable innovation into the core product, design and manufacturing process Circular Economy - Marina Chahboune 14.10.2017 8

Global Fashion Agenda: Copenhagen Fashion Summit Commitment 143 brands signed! 64 fashion companies and corporations have signed the commitment. Together, they represent 143 brands and a combined value of 7.5% of the global fashion market. Circular Economy - Marina Chahboune 14.10.2017 9

Action Points – CPH Fashion Summit Commitment ACTION POINT 1: IMPLEMENTING DESIGN STRATEGY FOR CYCLABILITY Brand or retailer has a design strategy for cyclability by 2020, enabling re-use, upcycling and recycling. This includes one or more of the following: • Products are designed to promote and prioritise materials that are compatible with existing material recycling streams • Products are designed so that material types can be separated for recycling • Products are designed for functional durability and ease of ACTION POINT 2: INCREASING VOLUME OF USED GARMENTS COLLECTED Brand or retailer has programme in place for the collection and processing of used garments by 2020. • An in-store/e-tail garment collection scheme together with a recognised, credible and licensed charity and/or re-use/ recycling company Circular Economy - Marina Chahboune 14.10.2017 10

Action Points – CPH Fashion Summit Commitment ACTION POINT 3: INCREASING RESALE OF USED GARMENTS Brand or retailer sells or exchanges used garments in second-hand marketplaces by 2020. • Resale in own retail spaces • Collaboration with online second-hand market places • Collaboration with charities or textile recyclers ACTION POINT 4: INCREASING USE OF RECYCLED TEXTILE FIBRES Brand or retailer uses recycled textile fibres in collection range by 2020. • Support development of technologies that enable material recycling • Include textile-to-textile recycled fibres in collection range Circular Economy - Marina Chahboune 14.10.2017 11

The rise of the circular economy BSI: FIRST CIRCULAR ECONOMY STANDARD Framework for implementing the principles of the circular economy in organizations – Guide Circular Economy - Marina Chahboune 14.10.2017 12

The circular economy is about creating & optimizing value by reconsidering what might be seen as waste or system losses & identifying opportunities to realize new potential from them. Circular Economy - Marina Chahboune 14.10.2017 13
