Big fashion brands back again Bangladesh recycling scheme
12 February, 2021
Over 30 fashion brands and manufacturers have joined a fresh initiative to collaborate on cutting down textile waste and reusing materials to create services in Bangladesh’s garments factories.
The Circular Vogue Partnership announced this week that it is bringing makes such as H&M, OVS, Marks & Spencer, Berska, Draw & Bear, C&A, Kmart Australia, and Bangladeshi recycling businesses and garment manufacturers on board the movement.
“The movements aims to accomplish a long-term, scalable transition to a circular fashion system,” explained Global Vogue Agenda in a news release. “The partnership facilitates circular professional collaborations between major manner makes, textile and garment companies, and recyclers to build up and implement new devices to capture and immediate post-production fashion waste back to the production of new fashion products.”
The partnership seeks to find solutions for the Covid-19 related pile-up of deadstock and excess inventory while finding suitable long-term solutions for Bangladesh’s economy and protecting those that work in garment factories.
Cutting greenhouse emissions
According to 2020 analysis by McKinsey & Company, the fashion industry makes 4 percent of global climate-warming emissions, as the U.N. environment plan in 2019 set the fashion industry’s talk about of global carbon emissions at ten percent.
Bangladesh may be the world’s second-largest producer of clothes. Its market depends greatly on the garment industry but lacks the required resources to move to a more circular fashion business design.
“The initiative will concentrate on Bangladesh as it arguably possesses the most recyclable waste of any garment making country by facilitating a reduction in textile waste and boost the make use of recycled fibers, distributing value through the entire fashion value cycle, and generating monetary benefits in Bangladesh by accelerating the fiber recycling market,” Global Manner Agenda added.
What is a circular fashion system?

A circular fashion program keeps products in the fashion value routine by recycling and reusing waste textiles to create services from leftover components that would otherwise be discarded.
Morten Lehmann, CSO of Global Manner Agenda, added: “To determine a circular fashion program we must reimagine the development process in order that it appreciates the value of textile waste materials. It really is encouraging to check out so many prestigious companies register with the Circular Trend Partnership and, with their help, I am confident that people can demonstrate a solid business model for circularity which can be mirrored by others later on.”
