Resumen
Year by year, the waste footprint has been increasing significantly; thousands of tons of waste generated by various industry sectors is already bringing irreparable changes in the world. One of the principal industries that produce these effects is the fashion industry, which used to follow a traditional linear fashion promoted by marketing where consumption by demand becomes a “necessity.” However, this perspective has been changing, where the final consumer nowadays is more conscious about the process and the negative aspects that fast fashion means for the environment and the social aspect. This current chapter analyzes the aspects that the fashion industry generates, such as economic, environmental, and social impact, and the solution that provides the fashion and textile circularity for the sector with practical cases being implemented.
