Research from organisations such as The Institute of Positive Fashion,      suggests that, to combat fashion's contribution to the climate emergency, we must change the very framework of the industry - from linear to circular.  

Currently, the mainstream fashion industry operates under a linear economy, starting in the resource heavy extraction of raw materials, and, ultimately, ending in landfill disposal. Although some progress has been made to create a recycled economy, which prolongs the
life of garments, ultimately this still results in waste. The goal is to irradiate waste entirely by functioning in a fully circular economy.
