It provides a profile of the industry in a range of European countries, allowing comparisons and contrasts, and the formulation of recommendations for future change and development. A mainly inductive, qualitative research approach is used, in which both secondary sources and primary interview and survey material are analysed to address key research questions, and support the development of a model for the assessment of companies in their transition to the circular economy, incorporating both upstream and downstream activities in the extended supply chain. The book will be of value to undergraduate and postgraduate students in environmental and computer technology disciplines, and to professionals and practitioners in the textile and clothing industry. 410 0$aSDGs and Textiles,$x2948-1244 606 $aSustainability 606 $aBuilding materials 606 $aSustainability 606 $aWood, fabric, and textiles 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aBuilding materials. 615 14$aSustainability. 615 24$aWood, fabric, and textiles. 676 $a304.2 700 $aWynn$b Martin$01785005 701 $aWiegand$b Tina$01785006 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910983039003321 996 $aSustainability, the Circular Economy and Digitalisation in the European Textile and Clothing Industry$94316631 997 $aUNINA
