Feasibility of Fashion: Remanufacturing Organizing fashion value chains for circularity through remanufacturing (including redesign) Remanufacturing is practiced only at a very small scale in the fashion industry, despite the increasing need for a development towards dematerialization, higher revalue addition, ways to generate a high profit margin, and at the same time create more employment. The report, based on three participatory action projects, aims to investigate how remanufacturing can be made feasible industrially, for sustainable competitiveness in the fashion industry, through detailed observation of a fairly large and successfully operating remanufacturing business.

Feasibility of conditional design: Organizing a circular textile value chain by design principles In recent years the increased awareness of the need for conservation of resources and environmental sustainability has brought a focus on the potential for a circular economy in textiles and fashion. Commissioned by the Region of Västra Götaland, a number of investigations were carried out during 2015-2019, related to redesign, reuse and recycling of textile materials and products, at the Swedish School of Textiles and Science Park Borås.

Planning a Swedish Collection and Sorting Plant for Used Textiles In recent years the increased awareness of the need for conservation of resources and environmental sustainability has brought a focus on the potential for a circular economy in textiles and fashion. Commissioned by the Region of Västra Götaland, a number of investigations were carried out during 2015-2019, related to redesign, reuse and recycling of textile materials and products, at the Swedish School of Textiles and Science Park Borås. The objectives of the reports, where feasibility is a keyword, is to develop structures for circular processes in the textile industry, in order to create new business opportunities and use less planetary resources. The focus is to design for longevity, through conditional design, redesign and remanufacturing and service innovation, and to ensure that the resulting circular processes are technically, organizationally, and economically feasible.
