Awareness, Sustainability, Textile waste, utilization

The textile and apparel industry are one of the largest contributors to global waste, posing significant environmental challenges. This study investigates consumer awareness of textile and apparel waste utilization and explores their attitudes and behaviors towards sustainable practices. A mixed-methods approach was employed, comprising a survey of consumers and in-depth interviews with industry experts. The survey assessed consumer knowledge, perceptions, and practices related to textile waste, while the interviews provided insights into industry trends and challenges. The study also highlights the role of education and marketing in bridging the awareness-action gap. Effective communication strategies by brands and policymakers can enhance consumer engagement in sustainable practices. Recommendations for future research include longitudinal studies to track changes in consumer behaviour over time and the exploration of incentives to promote sustainable consumption. Overall, this study underscores the need for increased consumer education and the development of infrastructure to support sustainable textile waste utilization, aiming to reduce the environmental footprint of the apparel industry.
