Having the full value chain included in discussions will help identify potential problems before starting any production process. This will result in more circular products and design thinking.

A good example is the Cradle-to-Cradle Institute, where stakeholders share their methodology. This supports and empowers all actors within a global ecosystem to make products and materials with positive impact.

The Higg Brand & Retail Module (Higg BRM) will support companies using the Higg Index with sharing sustainability information with key stakeholders, including supply chain partners.

Once secondary raw materials will become more economically viable, the promotion of a global circular industry will accelerate.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Make Fashion Circular Initiative aims to stimulate the level of collaboration (and innovation) necessary to create a new textiles economy.

The Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA) invests in tackling the challenges in the sector and realising the benefits that organic cotton can bring for people and the planet.

The growing demand for more circular and sustainable initiatives is the most pivotal element of support for  production. It enables forward steps throughout the process to lessen the environmental impact.

Promoting the market for secondary raw materials within production helps increase demand and encourages a more circular mindset.

Informed consumers can become engaged consumers and maybe even ambassadors. Therefore it is important to focus in B2C information about end-of-life actions.

To facilitate clear B2C communication, a large number of stakeholder within the industry are working together to create the Higg Transparency communication vehicle.

Other communication solutions include electronic labelling, such as CircularID, making it easier for consumers to get the information they need to make informed decisions.

There are numerous resources for recycling best  practices, such as the Global recycling Standards or the Recycled Claim Standard.

This help set the precedence for a post-consumption plan finding routes to inform consumers or collaborate with key stakeholders to ensure items can continue their life after consumption, ultimately reducing waste within the industry.
