“…Regarding clothing attributes that affect purchase and post-purchase behaviour, Paço et al [ 26 ] have argued that the main barriers to buying secondhand clothing are the perceived lower cleanliness of the garment and the fact that these clothes have already been previously used by other people. McQueen et al [ 54 ] stated that people are less likely to donate, give away or sell malodorous clothing and are more likely to dispose of malodorous garments directly in the rubbish. Degenstein et al [ 55 ] indicated that the severity of damage to clothing caused by its use plays a key role in how people decide to dispose of their unwanted garments and that the quality and type of garment predict the disposal method and end-of-life extension strategies.…”

“…Regarding of the influence of valuing sustainable attributes in clothing on sustainable purchase and post-purchase behaviours, no recent evidence has been recognised associating these selection attributes with the frequency of these post-purchase behaviours. However, because the influence of other types of non-sustainability-related attributes on second-hand purchasing or clothing disposal behaviour has been supported, such as the smell and cleanliness of clothing [ 56 , 54 ], the perception that clothing is out of fashion [ 41 ] and high brand recognition of the product due to its authenticity and quality [ 67 ], this research suggests that valuing conditions such as organic production, fair-trade manufacturing, absence of polluting materials and quality should affect the frequency of clothing purchase and post-purchase actions that are important for social and environmental sustainability, such as exchanging, reusing, repairing, donating, disposing of clothes and buying second-hand clothes. This approach is also justified by the phases exposed in the response hierarchy models [ 38 , 36 ] which support that the preference or desire for a product precedes subsequent behaviors such as its purchase and consumption.…”

Purchasing and consumption behaviour is a factor with an important impact on sustainable development. In this regard, the clothing category plays a key role due to the high volume of products that are manufactured in countries with poor environmental and social conditions. While some research has investigated personal, social and cultural conditions that influence these behaviours, little is currently known about the influence of the attributes of sustainable clothing selection on the frequency of sustainable purchase and post-purchase actions in this category. This research seeks to evaluate this effect by comparing the results among genders and age/generation and measuring sustainable consumption using the Young Consumers’ Sustainable Consumption Behaviour method, which has two dimensions: purchase choices and sufficient and frugal consumption. Responses to online surveys of 240 university students in Chile are analysed using descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test and ologit regressions. The findings show significant differences between the groups analysed with respect to the influence of attributes for sustainable clothing selection and highlight the negative effect of the search for quality in men and in older people. The evidence highlights the need to inform the population about the characteristics of sustainable clothing that positively affect purchase and post-purchase actions such as buying secondhand clothing, repairing, exchanging and donating clothing. This study also suggests that it is important to strengthen the relationship between sustainability and clothing quality among older generations and men.

“…(see other breakdown times here). Furthermore, many individuals may be surprised to find that 84% of clothing is disposed of in landfills or incinerators (McQueen et al, 2021). Textiles are a long-established industry with a wide range of goods dating back to the start of human existence.…”

The objective is to determine how the disposal of Waste, GSCP, and WR affected the company's productivity. The study used a correlational design to examine the relationships between variables. Furthermore, the study was descriptive, and data were acquired using various methods (qualitative and quantitative). In addition, the study's quantitative component was a questionnaire-based survey, and its qualitative component was a series of in-depth interviews with key individuals. A Likert scale questionnaire was used to gather the research's primary data, while the secondary data was gathered through reviewing previous articles. The data gathered was then measured using a statistical technique and the SPSS software. The study concluded that Waste and WR disposal is significant, but GSCP has an insignificant impact on the company's productivity. Furthermore, waste directly impacts human development, both socially and technologically. Waste management is distinct from resource recovery, which is concerned with lowering the pace at which natural resources are used. All waste materials, whether solid, liquid, gaseous, or radioactive, are included in WM. WM practices might differ across developed and emerging countries, urban and rural areas, industrial producers, and residential areas.

The fashion industry accounts for large impacts on the environment and social welfare, both on the consumers' and companies' sides. This study systematically reviews the literature on sustainable consumption in the fashion industry, clarifying sustainable fashion's meaning. Existing sustainable fashion solutions are investigated from consumers' behavior perspective and classified into three consumption phases, that is, (pre‐)purchase, use, and post‐use. 187 articles are included, and twenty‐six sustainable solutions are identified across the consumption phases. These include techniques, features, services, and behaviors able to increase garment sustainability by mitigating negative impacts and ensuring product circularity by recycling and/or reusing at the product's end of life, representing promising strategies for fostering a transition toward sustainable fashion consumption practices. An innovative and comprehensive framework of sustainable fashion solutions is developed. Future research agenda and a sustainable offering inventory for marketers are provided.
