The textiles industry remains anchored in the linear take-make-waste economy. According to the European Environment Agency, the sector has the fourth most significant impact on primary resource materials and water after food, housing and transport.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation has recently set out five universal circular economy policy goals around which governments and businesses can align to scale the circular economy. One goal is to ‘make the economics work’ by creating economic incentives and setting regulatory requirements that enable circular economy business models (such as resale, rental and repair) to become the norm rather than the exception. How can this be achieved in the fashion and textiles sector?

These are the highlights from the episode that was streamed live on our channels on 27th April. In this episode, we heard from the European Commission, the European Environment Agency, and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, who shares their perspectives on the enabling role of policy to increase the adoption of circular business models.
