“There is no two ways about it, for true systems change, the fashion sector has to start seeing value creation decoupled from new production. Action on circular business models is imperative for this, which is why this programme is so important - helping to unlock barriers for the industry to drive measurable revenue increases against a set of ambitions to do so.”
- Rachel Arthur, Sustainable fashion strategist and consultant

"WRAP research shows that, on average, each person in the UK throws a shocking 35 items of unwanted textiles straight into their rubbish bin every year. We are producing and consuming too many new clothes while also throwing too many of our items away. As an industry we need to do more to provide avenues and options for individuals to keep their clothing in use for longer and provide alternatives to buying new. Circular business models are an important focus for WRAP and for the industry. We have seen growing popularity in resale, repairrepairOperation by which a faulty or broken product or component is returned back to a usable state to fulfil its intended use. and rental markets, all of which offer opportunities to disrupt the status quo and transition to business models that align with sustainability ambitions. We know that there is increased consumer receptivity to these markets and we commend the work The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is doing to unlock industry progress in this space.”
