Fashion is still weighing too heavily on the environment and not doing enough to lighten the load.
Hitting with the hard facts first, the report says the industry produced 2.1 billion tons of CO2 equivalent, roughly 4 percent of the global CO2 equivalent emissions. That’s equivalent to the entire economies of France, Germany and the U.K. combined.
“Circular business models, including fashion rentals, re-commerce, repair and refurbishment could enable the industry to cut around 143 million tons of GHG emissions in 2030. Consumers are vital to realizing this abatement potential and the industry must now act to realize this opportunity,” Syrett said. “In order for the industry to align with the 1.5-degree pathway by 2030, we know that we need to live in a world in which one in five garments are traded through circular business models.
Recycling technologies are there, albeit in “adolescent” stages, but their progression into adulthood has to happen at a quicker clip — and if it does, it could mean a lot for fashion reining in its impact. The four key technologies that could finally drive fashion’s circularity forward in a big way, according to the report, are mechanical fiber-to-fiber recycling for cotton and viscose; thermos-mechanical recycling; chemical cellulosic recycling, and chemical synthetic mono recycling for polyester, nylon, and chemical blended recycling. All of these recycling technologies “have the potential to be more cost effective than using corresponding virgin materials.
