Abstract

This paper explores waste management in the textile industry towards achieving sustainable fashion. It addresses the industry’s environmental impact, challenges of waste generation, and the positive consumer shift towards eco-friendly products. Case studies of brands like Patagonia and Nike highlight recycling efforts. Effective waste management can reduce costs and environmental impacts while promoting circularity in fashion. By implementing effective waste management strategies, the fashion industry can reduce costs, minimize environmental impacts, and contribute to a more circular and resource-efficient model of production.
