Despite recent efforts, Australia's progress towards a more circular economy has been slow. This interim report highlights the ways in which Australians are using materials more sustainably and efficiently and the barriers that are limiting them. It identifies priority opportunities in six sectors: the built environment, food and agriculture, textiles and clothing, mining, vehicles, electronics...

Every year, over 300,000 tonnes of clothing is either sent to landfill or exported from Australia. The authors of this paper argue that banning the export of textiles waste, meaningful regulation, taxation and investing in Australia’s capacity to manufacture and recycle domestically, are better solutions for creating a circular economy for this industry.

Reusing more existing products could radically cut resource consumption and its environmental impact. This report investigates how reuse is working in the United Kingdom for the fashion sector, where it can be challenging to make the economics stack up.

This paper analyses the global textile and garment industry - one of the most globalised and complex supply chains - to identify key attributes of wellbeing economies and demonstrate how they can be applied in practice.

The National Clothing Product Stewardship Scheme, called 'Seamless', is a plan to transform how clothing is made, used, reused and recycled in Australia to create clothing circularity by 2030.
