Our clothes, new for old

Abstract EN

This paper deals with the significances and changes that may take place if we start to search for a new means and ways to produce and use our clothes, use different types of fibers, change the conventional and old farming practices, and wash our clothes in a different way.

The paper is valuable to a wide range of interested groups.

It is for the people in business who have to balance their personal ethics and their consumer’s needs for their business to grow.

It is for consumers who have a limited budget but are worried about the impact of their shopping choices.

It is for campaigners and those in education, government and the media to try to provide as balanced evidence as possible about the present and future impacts of the textiles and clothing sector.

It tries to find the possibility for significant and lasting change by looking at what might happen if the textiles industries sectors were to experience a change.
