Circular Manifesto

We at Circular Hub are committed to driving positive change in the fashion, textile and furniture industries by advocating and facilitating the transition to a circular economy. We believe the circular economy is key to solving the environmental and social challenges associated with these industries, and we are dedicated to empowering businesses to take action.

Enable circular business models: We believe that innovative business models can unlock the full potential of the circular economy. We work with companies to identify and implement circular business models, such as product-as-a-service, take-back programs and circular supply chains. We help companies rethink their traditional business models and adopt new, circular ways of doing business.

Design for Circularity: We believe that product design plays a crucial role in the transition to a circular economy. We encourage companies to adopt design principles that prioritize sustainability, repairability, recyclability and other circular concepts. We provide design guidelines and tools that help companies create products that are designed for longevity and easy circularity.

Inspire for change: We believe in the power of inspiration to create lasting change. We share success stories, best practices and case studies that demonstrate the benefits and opportunities of the circular economy. We inspire companies, consumers and other stakeholders to take action and join the circular movement.

Foster collaboration: We believe that collaboration is critical to driving systemic change. We facilitate collaboration between companies, decision makers, researchers and other stakeholders to create a supportive ecosystem for the circular economy. We foster partnerships and networks that enable knowledge sharing, innovation and collective action towards a circular future.

Promote innovation: We believe that innovation is the engine of circularity. We follow research and development efforts that drive innovation in the fashion, textile and furniture industry. We work with entrepreneurs, startups and technology providers to accelerate the development and adoption of circular solutions, such as recycling technologies, circular materials and digital platforms.

Spread knowledge and strengthen: We believe that knowledge and mandate are decisive driving forces for change. We provide and disseminate information that equips companies with the skills and knowledge needed to implement circular practices in their operations. We empower companies to become circular leaders in their industries, creating a ripple effect of positive change across the entire value chain.

Embrace sustainability: We believe that sustainability is not a trend, but a necessity. We encourage companies to prioritize sustainability in all aspects of their operations, from purchasing and production to consumption and waste management. We provide resources to help businesses adopt sustainable practices, such as reducing waste, conserving resources and promoting responsible consumption.

Policy advocates: We believe that policy plays a critical role in creating an enabling environment for the circular economy. We advocate policies that promote circularity, such as increased producer responsibility, waste reduction targets and incentives for circular innovation. We collaborate with decision makers and advocate for a regulatory framework that supports the circular economy and encourages sustainable practices.

Measuring impacts: We believe in the importance of measuring and monitoring progress towards circularity. We work with companies to set measurable goals, track their progress and report on their circularity. We provide example metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of circular initiatives and drive continuous improvement.

Promote transparency: We believe that transparency is crucial to building trust, confidence and accountability in the circular economy. We encourage companies to be transparent about their circular practices, including their procurement, production and waste management processes. We promote transparency as a way to inspire others and create a circular culture within the industry.


Together, we can transform the fashion, textile and furniture industries into circular and regenerative systems that benefit people, the planet and the economy.


 

Join us on the journey to create a more sustainable and resilient future. Together we can drive positive change, reduce waste, save resources, promote responsible consumption and create a fairer and more just economy. We welcome companies in the fashion, textile and furniture industries to join us in our mission to embrace the circular economy.

We urge companies to take action, to rethink their traditional business models, to adopt sustainable practices in their operations and to design products that are built to last, repairable and recyclable. We encourage companies to collaborate, share knowledge and learn from each other, when we work together towards a circular future.

We challenge consumers to be aware of their choices and demand products and services that are in line with circular principles. We appreciate consumers who choose quality over quantity, repair over buying new, and who support companies that prioritize sustainability and circularity. Together, we can create a culture of responsible consumption that drives demand for circular products and services.

We call on policymakers to create an enabling environment that supports the circular economy, through policies that promote sustainability, stimulate circular innovation and hold companies accountable for their environmental and social impact. We encourage decision-makers to listen to the needs of the industry and work together to implement effective circular policies.

We undertake to continuously help and provide companies with the knowledge, tools and resources needed to transition to a circular economy. We will provide support, guidance and expertise to help businesses overcome challenges and unlock the economic, environmental and social benefits of circularity.

We envision a future where waste is minimized, resources are conserved, products are designed with circularity in mind and business models are regenerative. A future where the fashion, textile and furniture industry is at the forefront of sustainability and creates positive social and environmental effects. Together we can make this vision a reality.
