Presenting cutting-edge research, innovative technologies, and new practices from global experts in the field, this book highlights the changes being made to make the fashion industry more sustainable through fashion and textile upcycling.While the fashion industry provides essential clothing and fashion products to consumers worldwide and is a major source of employment in many countries, it is notoriously wasteful and environmentally damaging. Recognising the industry's negative impact on the environment, particularly through the lens of fast fashion and throwaway consumer culture, this book identifies emerging and established leaders working to make the industry more sustainable and circular. Showcasing a collection of creative material practices that transform textile waste into new products and materials of equal or higher quality or value than the constituent elements, it includes coverage of upcycling theories, traditional and contemporary practices, and experiments from practitioners and other stakeholders around the world. Through a variety of innovative approaches, scientific findings and practical outcomes, the book proposes a way forward for sustainable and circular fashion and textiles. Encouraging readers to rethink the status quo, it prompts a reimagining of the future, where the fashion industry is the largest and most successful contributor to a circular economy.The book will be a key resource for students, academics, practitioners and policymakers on how to reduce fashion and textile waste, conserve resources, reduce environmental impact, create economic opportunities, foster innovation, and promote social and cultural value in the circular economy.

This book highlights the concept and applications of Remanufactured Fashion. The first book on this subject, it covers reverse logistics, exemplars, and case studies of remanufactured fashion design. Textile waste is a major issue for all countries, and converting that waste into useful products offers a sensible solution. Remanufactured Fashion is one such sustainable waste management strategy. It involves the conversion of discarded garments into useful retail products, without which they would be dumped at landfills, posing a number of environmental issues. Remanufacturing recovers a product’s inherent value once that product no longer fulfills the user’s desired needs. The application and use of discarded clothing in remanufacturing processes could greatly reduce the percentage of clothing waste (and mitigate related waste management issues), while also contributing to resource conservation. There has been scant research investigating what is actually involved in the fashion remanufacturing process and how the process could be up-scaled to the mass market in order to achieve greater environmental gains. This book addresses that gap in the literature and examines all aspects pertaining to the concept and applications of Remanufactured Fashion.
