Characterizing laundry practices and linking resource consumption in five megacities of Asia
Doing domestic laundry is a social practice held together by social, material, and personal elements. Therefore, understanding the underlying dimensions behind laundry practices can reveal the drivers and inhibitors for change toward sustainable consumption and production. Researchers have mostly investigated household laundry practices in developed regions of the world. As a result, understanding the antecedents of these practices in contexts su…
Unpacking policy perspectives and opportunities for a circular economy for plastics in India
Plastics management remains a challenge in India. India generates > 4.1 million tonnes of plastic waste annually, yet a large portion of mixed or contaminated waste is mismanaged, ending in landfills or leaching into natural systems. A circular economy will enable better use and management of plastics, across design and production, use and end-of-life stages, to ensure valuable materials are kept longer in circulation, and new markets create dema…
Windows of opportunity
This paper studies niche-regime dynamics in sustainability transitions in the disposable nappy industry in Australia. Disposable nappies generate a disproportionate amount of plastic waste relative to the per capita usage of the product. In the 60 years since disposable nappies were introduced into the market, niche innovators attempting to offer more sustainable solutions have been unable to challenge the dominant market position of disposable n…
The ‘Wellbeing Wardrobe’ as a tool to promote just transitions in the fashion and textile industry
In this paper we discuss the pressing need for a just transition in one of our most environmentally and socially problematic contemporary industries: the fashion and textiles industry. We detail the current injustices in the industry, from both environmental and socio-economic standpoints, and then move on to providing some suggestions as to how these entrenched problems with the industry could be addressed. Specifically, we identify five key act…
State of play in Australian sustainable fashion research
Australian fashion is emblematic of Global North countries with high levels of consumption and waste, dominated by high street fast fashion brands. It also has some unique characteristics as it is located in the Asia-Pacific region – the central production hub of garments – and is a leading producer of quality natural fibres such as cotton and wool. Despite this, Australia has a hollowed-out manufacturing sector that can provide minimal value add…
Changing geographies of fashion during Covid-19
COVID-19 has impacted a range of industries, of which the fashion industry is no exception. Here, we examine the effects of COVID-19 on the geographies of that industry in Australia. We use a path-dependency framework to understand the evolution of the Australian fashion industry and to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 as an external shock to this evolution. The Australian fashion industry has been hit particularly hard by the pandemic. Drawing up…
Platforms and the pandemic
From Airbnb to Uber, the sharing or platform economy has reshaped many aspects of our economy and society. In recent years, fashion rental platforms have gained in popularity, fuelling the introduction of the platform economy in fashion. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the impact on fashion rental platforms was abrupt, with demand disappearing seemingly overnight as events were cancelled and many people began working from home. Drawing on a case …
Will Covid-19 support the transition to a more sustainable fashion industry
In this policy brief, we examine the impact of COVID-19 on sustainability initiatives in the fashion industry. We ask whether COVID-19 is likely to support the transition to a more sustainable fashion industry. In answering this question, we utilize a framework for examining sustainability along the fashion-supply chain, highlighting the opportunities and challenges for a sustainable transition with respect to design, production, retail, consumpt…
Dirty Laundry in Manila
Changing lifestyles in developing and emerging economies entail a shift in technology use, everyday practices, and resource consumption. It is important to understand the sustainability consequences of these changes and the potential for policy to guide practices toward more sustainable lifestyles. In this study, we investigate laundry practices in the City of Manila, the Philippines, and compare the resources consumed in three different modes of…
