This book delves into historical insights, contemporary and future dynamics of circular processes that shape the material, knowledge, and financial flows within the fashion and textile industry. The chapters move beyond studies of drivers and barriers to circular economy adoption in the sector. Instead, they focus on mapping the industry's transition, offering a nuanced exploration of both successes and failures to guide strategic planning and decision-making for stakeholders striving for sustainable futures.

Through a diverse range of methodological approaches, this collection offers a comprehensive perspective on established and novel approaches to circulation of textiles and market opportunities and highlights innovative strategies for addressing the complexities of textile reuse, recycling, and re-commerce. It aims to support a paradigm shift in management, marketing, and business strategy approaches towards a circular system.

This book will be of interest to academics, scholars, and advanced students in particular, as well as industry executives and sustainability advocates interested in the intersection of fashion, innovations, business, and sustainability. It will also appeal to those who want to understand how circular economies are reshaping the fashion and textile industry, and how multiplicity of stakeholders can contribute to this process. Readers will gain insight into global best practices, failures, and transformative pathways, providing guidance for policymakers, businesses, and researchers.
