The intention/action gap Based on the insights from this survey and analysis, the CBM team pillar within the CFIN programme have determined some key areas to develop and explore to accelerate industry towards the overall goal of a circular fashion economy. The key areas will be based on insights and needs from industry to help to scale Circular design and understand the obstacles associated with scaling CBMs. Next steps
Scaling circular design: focus on regulatory needs
Scaling circular business models: design an accelerator programme with a difference
ESPR is the new regulation from the EU which comprises eco-design and digital product passport o Recommendation is to develop a pilot which enables the industry to become “eco-design ready”, which works alongside the other key themes in CFIN such that the approach for circular design is joined up across the needs of Sustainable Manufacturing and Recycling Infrastructure, For example, how can recycled fibre content be more readily considered as a feedstock and consideration into the design and sourcing stages. o The Pilot could serve as key insights into UK and EU reg landscape, to help them evolve relevant policy which is industry-relevant.
o Design an accelerator programme which helps establish circular business models as informed Sustainable manufacturing and recycling needs o The accelerator will focus on mitigating problems with scale, and look at the business unit needs to embed this across a business.
A Textiles Extended Producer Responsibility tax in the UK can yield multiple benefits. o Recommendation is to run a small pilot with SMEs to model the different scenarios of an industry-led EPR system with eco-modulation could work, and use these insights to inform both UK government and EU level also.
