【 摘 要 】

Prosperity creates extravagance. With economic development, rising consumer purchasing power, and expanding manufacturing sectors, demand for textiles and apparel is increasing daily. Unquestionably, it boosts national economies while producing unprecedented amounts of textile waste. The surge exacerbates environmental issues while also providing an opportunity to convert it into useful raw material through a circular economy (CE), a circular model in which virgin material use is reduced through reusing, recycling, and reproduction. Considering its significance, China and other Asian nations adopted this model long ago (Chen et al., 2021). However, it is still in its early stages in India, with only 1% of the material estimated to be recycled (Mehta, 2022). To reap the benefits from the circular model, the Indian textile and apparel industry must urgently transform into circular textile products (CTP), which require only a fifth of the materials and a seventh of the energy in their production compared to new products.
