Quantifying Circularity: co-developing design guidelines with textile recyclers, brands and impact assessment

为了应对纺织品和服装生产对气候变化的重大影响，必须与业界、学术界和提供解决方案的利益相关者合作，为纺织和服装行业开发循环解决方案。然而，纤维到纤维回收领域的快速创新对相关行业来说是一个挑战。与实际有效的循环设计一样，每个服装品牌和零售商都有许多不同且特定的高度复杂的决策阶段。CTF与UAL FTTI合作，将通过创新的研究和协作设计方法，为服装品牌带来充分考虑的纺织品循环性，这将为纤维到纤维回收商可以回收的服装设计提供信息。研讨会过程将从服装和制服品牌及其面临的挑战中学习，在生产和制造的每个点都有复杂的全球供应链，并建立设计和生产解决方案，由英国领先的回收慈善机构WRAP-TEXTIES 2030支持。一个关键的目标是确定选择循环设计方法的环境和经济效益，帮助行业证明必要的投资是合理的，以改变当前的长期做法。UAL FTTI和合作伙伴高等院校召集服装和材料设计、生产、商业和消费者实践的方方面面，从材料工程到人类学。通过专业的设计方法，这种跨学科的研发专业知识与WRAP和纺织品2030足迹工具提供的更广泛的行业专业知识相联系，将在设计和生产方法方面实现重大变化，超出项目的范围和时间表。

In order to address the significant impact of textiles and apparel production on climate change, the development of circular solutions with and for the textile and apparel industry, in collaboration with industry, academics, and solution providing stakeholders is imperative.The fast pace of innovation in the fibre-to-fibre recovery space is, however, a challenge for related industries. As is effective circular-design in real terms, with numerous highly complex decision-making stages that are different and specific to each apparel brand and retailer.CTF in partnership with UAL FTTI will bring fully considered textile circularity to apparel brands through an innovative approach to research and collaborative design, that will inform the design of clothing that fibre-to-fibre recyclers can recycle.Workshop processes will learn from apparel and uniform brands and the challenges they face, with complex global supply chains at every point of production and manufacture, and establish design and production solutions, supported by the UK's leading recycling charity, WRAP -- Textiles 2030\. A key aim will be to identify the environmental and economic benefits of choosing circular design methods, to help industry justify the necessary investment in changing current practices for the longer term.UAL FTTI and partner HEIs convene all aspects of apparel and materials design, production, business and consumer practices, spanning materials engineering to anthropology. Foregrounded by specialist design methods, this transdisciplinary research and development expertise linked to wider industry expertise provided by WRAP and the Textiles 2030 Footprint Tool, will achieve significant change in design, and production methods, beyond the scope and timeline of the project.
