As we all know, creating a successful circular economy is key to helping look after our planet and manage its natural resources. By repairing, reusing and recycling - waste and pollution is minimised – which is good for us all.
Changing our buying habits from a linear approach to a circular one is a very conscious choice on the part of the consumer, the popularity of second-hand clothing sites for example reflects the change in how consumers are choosing to buy. This market is strong and continues to grow and diversify but needs the talent within it to grow exponentially.
Consumers, investors, employees and wider stakeholders are wanting brands to demonstrate their social accountability and robust CSR policies. As we move away from the throw away culture, customers are embracing buying from brands who share the same values as them, and who importantly can evidence their green credentials.All of which will ultimately lead to growth for those brands that embrace the change.
