New guide targets elimination of fashion waste

The sustainable fashion research team at Australia’s Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) has partnered with a group of fashion brands and designers to create guidelines aimed at eliminating wasteful designs and promoting durable fashion that supports reuse and recycling.

The guide, ‘Refashioning: accelerating circular product design at scale’, outlines steps for the industry to transition from linear to circular design, focusing on maximising the lifespan of products and materials.
