This book highlights the concept and applications of Remanufactured Fashion. The first book on
this subject it covers reverse logistics exemplars and case studies of remanufactured
fashion design. Textile waste is a major issue for all countries and converting that waste
into useful products offers a sensible solution. Remanufactured Fashion is one such sustainable
waste management strategy. It involves the conversion of discarded garments into useful retail
products without which they would be dumped at landfills posing a number of environmental
issues. Remanufacturing recovers a product¿s inherent value once that product no longer
fulfills the user¿s desired needs. The application and use of discarded clothing in
remanufacturing processes could greatly reduce the percentage of clothing waste (and mitigate
related waste management issues) while also contributing to resource conservation. There has
been scant research investigating what is actually involved in the fashion remanufacturing
process and how the process could be up-scaled to the mass market in order to achieve greater
environmental gains. This book addresses that gap in the literature and examines all aspects
pertaining to the concept and applications of Remanufactured Fashion.
