Implementation of the circular economy principles in the textile industry

Abstract

With the rapid rise of instability in the global economy and more intensive depletion of resources, there is a need to adopt a new economic model that is becoming a business imperative. In order to improve resource performance, many companies have taken action to find ways to reuse products or their components and restore inputs of production, materials, energy and labour. Many companies today have begun to use the principles of the circular economy to create products that are more durable, easy to reuse or recycle, and more profitable. Having in mind that the textile industry is one of the most environmentally harmful industries, the purpose of this paper is to point out the advantages that the transformation of the traditional (linear) production model into a circular model of industrial activities has for increasing the environmental sustainability of this industry.

Circular economy and cybersecurity: Safeguarding information and resources in sustainable business models

“…This approach not only conserves natural resources but also creates value within the economic system, underscoring the economic viability of CE practices. Radukić et al (2023) focus on the textile industry, one of the most environmentally detrimental sectors, to demonstrate the benefits of transitioning from a traditional linear production model to a circular one. The authors argue that the implementation of CE principles in the textile industry can enhance environmental sustainability by creating products that are more durable, easier to reuse or recycle, and economically advantageous.…”

“…In summary, the principles of the circular economy and cybersecurity imperatives are foundational to the development of sustainable business practices in the modern era. The transition towards a circular economy, as evidenced by the works of Khomenko et al (2021), Kovtun (2020), andRadukić et al (2023), offers a viable solution to environmental degradation and resource depletion. However, this transition is inextricably linked to the digital transformation of businesses, necessitating a heightened focus on cybersecurity to protect and sustain these innovative practices.…”

Circular economy implementation and sustainability performance of the textile industry in an emerging economy

“…The circular economy is a topic worthy of discussion in the textile industry (Radukić et al ., 2023; Saha et al ., 2021), especially for emerging economies, as most of the textile production in the world is located in emerging economies (Jia et al ., 2020). This study will take the textile industry in Vietnam as the research subject because Vietnam is one of the world’s primary textile production countries (Le and Wang, 2017).…”
