Introduction
The pillar of sustainability is the economic environment and society. They are a development based on a mutually harmonious co-development. The aim is to be able to meet the needs of the present generation relatively well, without posing a risk to the development of future generations.
The circular economy is a framework for systemic solutions to global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, waste and pollution. (Amarjit Sahota and Amarjit Sahot, 2014).
The circular economy is based on three design-driven principles:
Eliminating waste and pollution,Circulation of products and materials,Regenerating nature,
It is based on a transition to renewable energy and materials. The circular economy decouples economic activity from the consumption of finite resources. It is a resilient system. It is good for business, people and the environment(ELLEN MACARTHUR FOUNDATION, no date).
Sustainable fashion is the act of meeting the contemporary need to design, manufacture and consume clothing and to maintain the development of fashion systems while protecting the environment on which we depend to the greatest extent possible. The development of sustainable fashion also requires a multi-faceted approach to the production of raw materials, the manufacture of clothing, the process of consumption and the recycling of used items to minimise the negative impact on the environment.
For the clean water and sanitation section of the SDGs, the way we create, sell, maintain and dispose of our clothing has a huge impact on the environment. The impact comes from every stage of the life of our clothes, such as the thousands of litres of water needed to grow crops such as cotton, the fabric dyeing process that pollutes waterways around the world, the carbon emissions from transporting them and the microplastics released when they are released. Fast fashion, for example, is also produced on a staggering scale, so too many clothes are made and thrown away too quickly – by some accounts, up to 11 million items are boxed up every week in the UK! (Oxfam). Slow fashion is a concept that stands for producing clothes in an ethical, sustainable and respectful way for people and the environment, as well as including aspects that allow consumers to extend the life of their clothes, such as care, repair and reuse.
