 Circular fashion is an approach that states that changing our "take-make-waste" continuous and fast consumption-based daily habits, even at the level of our wardrobe, will create many positive environmental effects. Since it is an alternative way to support sustainability, circular fashion draws attention to the harms of producing low-quality clothes that expire after short-term use, the importance of conscious production and responsible manufacturing to solve problems from water waste to air pollution. Thus, circular fashion concerns clothing manufacturers and evaluates the material quality, longevity and life cycle criteria for many products in our closets. However, that doesn't mean we fashion consumers can't get involved.
