Abstract:

This paper will discuss how circular economy strategies can be used to improve sustainability in India textile and apparel sector especially fast fashion. The study examines the effects of such practises like recycling, reusing water, reducing waste, and producing sustainably on the environmental and economic performance. The study is conducted with the help of a quantitative approach involving the use of secondary data on 2015-2024, which is used to conduct a descriptive analysis and regression analysis to assess the relationships between the indicators of a circular economy and the impacts of the results such as carbon emissions, water consumption, and contribution to the GDP. The evidence implies that circular practises are beneficial in terms of environmental impact especially in enhanced waste management and efficiency of resources, but their short-term economic implications are moderate. Other obstacles noted in the study are technological constraints, complexity of supply chain and consumer ignorance. On the whole, the study demonstrates that the shift to a circular economy is a key solution to long-term sustainability and competitiveness in the textile industry in India.
