INTRODUCTION

The fashion industry utilizes a lot of resources, has an adverse effect


on the environment, and contributes a large amount of waste. Rapid
growth and extension of the fashion industry, dynamic fashion trends,
mass manufacturing at a global level, migration of production to
developing nations, and landfills of trash have all considerably
increased environmental challenges. The fashion industry has been
under constant pressure to switch from a linear economic model to a
circular economy (CE) model because it is one of the most
environmentally destructive businesses. In 2014, the terms circular
economy and fashion were combined, giving rise to the trendy term
"circular fashion." The phrase was first used during a seminar in
Sweden where the main topic was taking a more circular approach to
the fashion business. By reducing waste production, promoting
sustainable supply chains, and mitigating environmental impacts, CE
models aim to improve the environment. By supporting zero-waste
design, reuse, repairability, and resource-sharing behaviors, CE also
attempts to maximize the life cycle of a product, from conception to
manufacture and consumption to disposal. The fashion business, for
the most part, still runs on a linear model of extracting,
manufacturing, and discarding resources, especially driving fast
fashion, due to the fast pace of consumption created by the industry
itself, which encourages mass production at high volume and low
pricing. Because of this, the sector is to blame for some of the worst
environmental effects.

LITERATURE REVIEW

This study is an analysis of the rapidly expanding body of literature


on Circular Fashion (CF) that examines its theory, present
applications, and evaluation of implementation. The review evaluates
the conception, execution, and efficiency of CE's policies and
procedures. It is carried out through a series of steps. The CF concept
is first introduced and contrasted with our current linear economy, in
which resources are used to produce things, which are then disposed
of, and it is explained why it is crucial to move toward a regenerative
sustainable industrial development with a closed loop. The guidelines
for evaluating the development and execution of current CF practices
are then introduced. Third, the fundamental issues and difficulties
from an entrepreneurial perspective are examined using a literature
study. The study concludes with some policy recommendations for
future advancements, modifications, and development as a component
of an inventive and entrepreneurial national level development
strategy.
