Why Circular Textile Systems Matter
UNEP describes textiles as culturally and economically important while also linked to climate, biodiversity, pollution, and waste pressures. A circular approach considers design, material choice, longer use, reuse, repair, recovery, safer chemistry, and responsible end-of-life systems. Small craft businesses participate by valuing remnants and designing for usefulness.
