“…Recently, Club of Rome reports have concluded that the circular economy would deliver socio-economic benefits in the form of higher energy efficiency, reduced carbon emissions and the creation of employment in the EU (Wijkman & Skånberg, 2016). In economic system like textile industries, fiber and fabric recycling is fully implemented with the objective to reduce resource needs (water, fossil fuels, chemicals) and to create new jobs in the collecting, sorting and recycling of clothing (Ellen McArthur Foundation, 2017;Walter, et al, 2019) Post-consumer textile waste management has been an area of concern, which seeks immediate attention to tackle pollution issues (Xu, et al, 2019;Bukhari, et al, 2018) and efficiently convert waste into a useful raw material which can be reused in fabricating fresh textile (Assmuth, et al, 2011;Vasileios, et al, 2015;Dahlbo, et al, 2017;GUPTA, 2018. ) and no doubt also helps in adopting Circular Economy that promotes Repair, Regeneration and Reuse of products instead of using traditional Linear Economy which means Produce-Use-Dispose (Geissdoerfer, 2017;Mitali, 2019).…”

“…A. Pre-Consumer and Post-Consumer textile waste and its management There is an upsurge in textile waste (Xu, et al, 2019) because of fast changing fashion trends or consumer"s changing demands (Fashion, 2018; Lau, 2015) and metamorphoses into various environmental problems (Dobilaite, et al, 2017)which need to be managed effectively. The various studies like Bairagi, 2014; Agrawal&Sharan, 2015; Dobilaite, et al, 2017 categorize textile waste into two categories i.e.…”

Prosperity leads to extravagance. With economic development and escalating purchasing power of consumers and expanding manufacturing sectors, demand for textiles and apparel are mounting day by day. No doubt it boosts economies of nations, yet at the same time results in loads of textile waste to unprecedented levels which is categorized into Pre-consumer & Post-consumer textile waste. This surge Socio-economic and environmental problems, while it will be converted into an opportunity by adopting Circular Economy in Textiles manufacturing, which is virtually missing from many economies of the world, especially from Indian Economy that's why a primary based exploratory research was conducted in India with 260 samples that were collected from selected cities of Indiato explore quantity, reasons and methods used to dispose off Post-consumer textile waste. It identifies consumers' awareness and inclinations towards Circular Economy. The outcome depicts that an average consumer discards (most often donate) around 6 pieces in a year with limited options. Their ignorance, absence of alternative options and lack of government role worsens the situation. The study has strong implications, generating awareness for the Circular Economy and attracting entrepreneurs and Nations Government to frame policies and provisions that would encourage investment on plants, technology and training on Circular Economy. This study would definitely open avenues for small & Medium scale entrepreneurs, generate employment and above all produce sustainable textiles and create a sustainable environment via Circular Economy.

“…Actualmente, hay sectores que por el tipo de insumos, procesos y productos generan residuos y consumen grandes cantidades de recursos naturales, siendo uno de ellos el sector textil. Asimismo, investigaciones revelan que este sector es identificado como uno de los más contaminantes en el mundo (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2017;European Commission, 2020;Xu et al, 2019). Esto se debe a que los microplásticos fibrosos liberados de los textiles sintéticos están contribuyendo significativamente a la contaminación ambiental (Snoek, 2017;Zhang et al, 2022), ya que producen grandes cantidades de efluentes coloreados intensivos al medio ambiente, los cuales contaminan gravemente el agua y el suelo, además de que dañan la salud de los seres vivos (Markandeya et al, 2022;Saxena et al, 2021).…”

“…En la Unión Europea, el textil es considerado como uno de los sectores con mayor repercusión ambiental, donde a la producción textil, a través de los tintes y los productos de acabado, se le responsabiliza aproximadamente del 20% de la contaminación mundial del agua potable y menos del 1% de todos los textiles en el mundo se reciclan en nuevos textiles (Carrillo, 2019;Damar et al, 2012;European Commission, 2020;Khan & Malik, 2013; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, 2021; Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico, 2021;Snoek, 2017;Xu et al, 2019). La prevención de los desechos a lo largo del ciclo de vida de sus productos y la eliminación, o al menos la minimización, de los residuos que terminan en vertederos son uno de los mayores desafíos que la industria textil debe afrontar (De Paoli, 2015;Koszewska, 2018).…”

“…Esta situación ubica a la economía circular como una herramienta de gestión en la Pyme que puede contribuir a alcanzar acciones enmarcadas en los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible (Mulder & Albaladejo, 2020). Por ello, la necesidad de mejorar los sistemas de gestión de residuos textiles y de avanzar hacia un modelo de economía circular es evidente y necesaria (Koszewska, 2018;Morales, 2019;Snoek, 2017;Xu et al, 2019).…”

Ante la crisis ambiental, las empresas requieren modelos de producción que mitiguen el cambio climático y representen una ventaja competitiva, siendo la economía circular una alternativa. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar si los principios de economía circular: preservar y mejorar el capital natural, optimizar el rendimiento de los recursos y promover la efectividad del sistema representan una ventaja competitiva, tomando como objeto de estudio las pequeñas y medianas empresas (Pyme) del sector textil de Tlaxcala, México. La metodología consistió en realizar un diagnóstico sobre la percepción de las variables. Posteriormente, se realizó un análisis descriptivo y de varianza (Anova), una prueba Tukey, un análisis de correlación y un análisis de regresión para determinar su significancia y relación. Los resultados revelaron que los principios de economía circular permitirán a la Pyme un desempeño superior con respecto a la competencia, haciéndola diferente y bajando sus costos. Se concluye que la economía circular sí puede impactar en el cuidado ambiental y en la competitividad.

In the era of the circular economy (CE), the pursuit of sustainability in the textile recycling industry offers organizations a significant competitive edge in the global competitive marketplace. Sustainable quality management practices (SQMP) have long been focal point of interest among companies. However, there has been limited research on achieving CE objectives in the textile sector, particularly within emerging economies like China. A gap remains in exploring SQMP within the context of CE goals, specifically in providing a comprehensive evaluation of the challenges to achieving sustainable operational practices. This study aims to integrate theories from quality management (QM) and the resource‐based view with corporate environmental objectives in the waste textile recycling industry, to identify key challenges in implementing SQMP. A robust analytic approach combining the integrated cloud model, blind number theory, Decision‐Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), and interpretative structure modeling (ISM) was used to analyze expert scoring results and to establish contextual and hierarchical relationships between the identified barriers, leading to the development of a framework model. The results show that workforce diversity has the highest correlation with other barriers and is a critical trigger point for integrating SQMP into organizations. These insights will assist practitioners in prioritizing strategic measures to foster sustainable QM. Furthermore, this investigation holds important policy implications for stakeholders committed to advancing sustainable CE through the recycling and utilization of waste textiles.
