R principles for circular economy in the textile industry – a mini-review

https://doi.org/10.25367/cdatp.2023.4.p295-305Keywords:
Circular economy, R principles, textile industry, waste prevention, resilienceAbstract
Textiles are used by humans for many purposes, from clothing to technical applications such as geotextiles, agrotextiles, or medical textiles. However, in addition to their importance, textiles are also responsible for various types of environmental pollution along the entire textile chain, from production, transport and trade to daily use to their end-of-life. Here we provide a brief overview of current approaches to establishing R principles in the textile industry in order to transform the recent linear structures into a circular economy and show in which areas there is a particular need for research and action.
