Abstract

The negative environmental impact of clothing industry is well-known and requires the effort for redesigning one of the world’s most polluting industries. Its image is tied up with a strong production of textile waste and a large amount of use of chemicals, energy, water and other essential resources. However, some actors are demonstrating opportunities for the development of sustainability transitions using new business models. This research focuses on the drivers of social technical transitions integrating a life-cycle perspective and open innovation in the design of sustainable business models. The applications of conceptual frameworks reveal possibilities for the promotion of slow fashion practices through a case study.
