Circular economy - Coggle Diagram
Circular economy
Fast fashion
-
rapid design, production, distribution, and marketing of clothing
mostly uses synthetic materials such as polyester, nylon and acrylic
a design, manufacturing, and marketing method focused on rapidly producing high volumes of clothing
pricing goes from $50-$300, which is considered cheap compared to fashion brands
ease of access, combined with the allure of affordable pricing
fashion
reflects cultural, social, and personal identity, value, belief
any way of dressing, behaving, writing, or performing that is favored at any one time or place
-
recycle
take materials from old products and reuse them in new products of equal or higher quality, effectively reducing waste and resource consumption
helps cut down on greenhouse gas emissions associated with the manufacturing of new clothing, thereby supporting efforts to mitigate climate change
reduces the need for new fabric production, which is often associated with water pollution from dyeing processes and chemical runoff, thus improving overall soil and water quality
-
sustainability
use eco-friendly materials such as organic cotton, recycled polyester, and natural fibers like hemp and linen to reduce environmental harm and carbon footprint
The shift towards sustainable fashion promotes a circular economy, encouraging recycling and upcycling, which helps minimize textile waste and reduces the burden on landfills
invest in quality garments that last longer, promoting a shift away from the fast fashion mentality towards more thoughtful purchasing behaviors
overproduction
the quantity of clothing produced exceeds consumer demand, resulting in unsold inventory
Brands face financial losses from unsold stock, which can lead to markdowns or disposal costs; this cycle can harm their profitability
overconsumption
The fashion industry is the second-largest consumer of water globally, which can lead to water scarcity in regions where these resources are already limited
accounts for about 10% of global carbon emissions, surpassing emissions from international flights and maritime shipping combined
Possible clients
peers who are interested in protecting the environment, and hold interest towards eco-friendly projects
teens who dislike to partake in consuming fast-fashion products and enjoy diy clothings and accessories
circular economy
a sustainable model that aims to create a closed-loop system where clothing and textiles are designed, produced, used, and recycled in a way that minimizes waste and environmental impact.
