Abstract
As the society develops and the economy thrives, there are inevitably some consequences behind the pulchritude of a gorgeous figure—environmental stress. Consumers are embracing the economic modality of linear consumption model and value mindsets of consumerism that neglect the capability for a good to be recycled, either durable or non-durable, especially within relatively impoverished regions such as the African continent where education regarding environmental protection is lacking. Currently, Africa is overflowing with clothing due to consumption or charity, and for most of the clothes, they end up in the landfills, leaving a voluminous carbon footprint behind. Thus, people are endeavoring to make a difference by transforming the conventional linear textile economic modality into a circular textile industry. This essay aims to investigate, inform, and evaluate the value creation process of circular textile industries in Africa and the premises in achieving this goal.
