The paradigm shift that is transforming fashion’s manufacturing models occurred in the first decade of the new century involving negligible vibrations, which in the last few years, have quickly turned into a big wave pushing a large part of the industry, still chaotically and contradictorily, including leading brands that now consider commitment to sustainability as a distinctive feature of their identity. Neo-Materials in the Circular Economy – Fashion is an updated overview of changes occurring in one of the most relevant industries of global economy. Starting from the analysis of materials, divided into three large areas (renewable, non-renewable and recycled), the book examines use of water and chemicals and eventually provides an overview of initiatives on sustainability implemented by small and big brands.
