Zielona i społecznie odpowiedzialna – przejście branży tekstylnej do gospodarki cyrkularnej

Języki publikacji

Abstrakty

The textile industry is faced with many problems today. In addition to having to meet customers' changing preferences and expectations, who wish to stay abreast of fashion trends and stand out from the crowd, it also needs to make efforts to change its image of one the biggest polluters in the world it has earned due to production processes consuming large amounts of resources that end up as piles of household waste. The circular economy (CE) model to reduce the environmental footprint seems to be the right solution for textile companies implementing sustainable development strategies. This paper discusses the principles of the CE model and makes an attempt at explaining how textile companies transition to it. It is based on the analysis of 34 textile companies sampled from among the members of the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform, which was conducted using a special analytical checklist compiled from the ReSOLVE and BECE frameworks. Because of the proportions and degree of integration between strategic and operational practices they used to achieve circularity, they were divided into integrated, hybrid, and selective organisations.

Branża tekstylna boryka się obecnie z wieloma problemami. Oprócz konieczności spełniania zmieniających się preferencji i oczekiwań klientów, którzy chcą podążać za modą i wyróżniać się z tłumu, musi także wziąć pod rozwagę swój status jako podmiotu zanieczyszczającego środowisko. Nie tylko bowiem procesy produkcyjne pochłaniają duże ilości zasobów naturalnych, ale produkty tej branży zamieniają się w ogromne ilości odpadów w gospodarstwach domowych. Model gospodarki o obiegu zmkniętym (GOZ), który ogranicza ślad środowiskowy przemysłu, wydaje się być właściwą drogą dla firm tekstylnych do realizacji strategii zrównoważonego rozwoju. Autorzy artykułu przedstawili zasady koncepcji gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym i analizują działania podejmowane przez firmy tekstylne w celu dostosowania swoich modeli biznesowych do ram GOZ. Korzystając z ram ReSOLVE Fundacji Ellen MacArthur, autorzy zaprojektowali model teoretyczny objaśniający, w jaki sposób firmy tekstylne przechodzą na paradygmat gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym. Analizie poddano 34 przedsiębiorstw tekstylnych umieszczonych na platformie European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform.
