Abstract | The challenges affecting the global apparel business include emissions of greenhouse gases, textile waste management, and unexcepted standards of labour. This paper looks at how adopting certain key concepts in sustainability like ethical sourcing, circular economy and carbon management can reduce such effects. The research critically assesses and evaluates the effectiveness of concepts such as the Triple Bottom Line, and Sustainable Supply Chain Management by considering best practices from, for instance, Patagonia and Adidas and has also considered system-level factors such as the lack of progressive legislation and high costs. Research findings show that circular production systems, engaging with stakeholders, and a comprehensible supply chain are strategic for sustainability. There has been some progress towards resolving the issues of worker exploitation but several problems remain when it comes to confronting demand from consumers for fast fashion. This paper adds to the knowledge pool by offering strategies that can be replicated on a large scale for global implementation and reiterates the call for international cooperation in addressing challenges in the apparel industry. |
