This multifaceted report combines original research and practices drawn from four years of working with over 20 brands and completing assessments for more than 50 companies in the apparel and textile industry.

Report highlights:
Apparel and Textile "waste" is the new supply chain for brands. We have identified that 82% of what is considered waste can be renewed and resold.

Customers know that our industry is a contributor to environmental damage.84% of survey respondents felt that the apparel industry has a lot or a great deal of impact on climate change.
Circular is a systemic change that can drive meaningful impact. The report demonstrates the positive environmental impact of circular using a metrics based approach.
There is no single roadmap for transitioning a business model from linear to circular. However, there are tested pathways that brands can select to bring circular practices inside their companies. Highlighted pathways in the report include programs from PVH, Cos, VF Corporation, The North Face and Coyuchi.
