Humanity's three main components are energy, food and clothing. Each of us, individually and collectively, contributes to climate change and CO emissions, natural resource consumption, and social attitudes and behaviour. Global fashion trends are expected to increase in value from 1.5 trillion dollars in 2020 to around 2.25 trillion dollars by 2025, indicating that the fashion demand is on the rise. Due to climate change, soil and water scarcity, and a variety of other diseases, new natural resources must be developed from plastic fibres, natural colours must replace synthetic ones, water consumption must be reduced and the 'buy-and-throw-away philosophy' must be replaced with 'buy-less-and-these-are-needed' and incorporate the 12 'R' strategies to aid the transition to a circular economy. In the context of waste management as well as on the development of new strategy approach, the fashion industry requires a new business circular model and furthermore a new mindset.
人类的三大组成部分是能源、食物和衣物。我们每个人，无论是单独还是集体，都对气候变化和二氧化碳排放、自然资源消耗以及社会态度和行为负有责任。预计到 2025 年，全球时尚趋势的价值将从 2020 年的 1.5 万亿美元增长到 2.25 万亿美元，这表明时尚需求正在上升。由于气候变化、土壤和水资源短缺以及各种其他疾病，必须从塑料纤维中开发新的自然资源，必须用天然颜色替代合成颜色，必须减少耗水量，必须用“少买多用”的理念取代“买了就扔”的理念，并采用 12 项“R”策略来帮助向循环经济过渡。在废物管理以及新战略方法的发展方面，时尚行业需要新的商业循环模式，并且需要有新的思维方式。
