La transición a una economía circular como una ventaja competitiva en la Pyme de la manufactura textil en Tlaxcala, México
Summary
This study assessed whether adopting circular economy principles could serve as a competitive advantage for small and medium-sized textile manufacturers in Tlaxcala, Mexico. Survey results showed that firms applying circular practices reported better environmental and economic outcomes. The fashion and textile industry's transition away from linear production models could significantly reduce its plastic microfiber pollution.
Ante la crisis ambiental, las empresas requieren modelos de producción que mitiguen el cambio climático y representen una ventaja competitiva, siendo la economía circular una alternativa. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar si los principios de economía circular: preservar y mejorar el capital natural, optimizar el rendimiento de los recursos y promover la efectividad del sistema representan una ventaja competitiva, tomando como objeto de estudio las pequeñas y medianas empresas (Pyme) del sector textil de Tlaxcala, México. La metodología consistió en realizar un diagnóstico sobre la percepción de las variables. Posteriormente, se realizó un análisis descriptivo y de varianza (Anova), una prueba Tukey, un análisis de correlación y un análisis de regresión para determinar su significancia y relación. Los resultados revelaron que los principios de economía circular permitirán a la Pyme un desempeño superior con respecto a la competencia, haciéndola diferente y bajando sus costos. Se concluye que la economía circular sí puede impactar en el cuidado ambiental y en la competitividad.

How can we deal with the large amount of microplastics delivered to landfills and released into the environment by fast fashion? A practical valorization approach for mitigating textile fibrous microplastics before affecting the environment.
Researchers proposed a practical valorization approach for managing fibrous microplastics generated by fast fashion textile waste, addressing the challenge of large volumes of textile microplastics entering landfills and the environment through a circular economy framework to intercept fibers before environmental release.
Towards circular fashion: Management strategies promoting circular behaviour along the value chain
This study explores how the fashion industry can shift from a wasteful linear model to a circular one through better management strategies, including sustainable materials, take-back programs, and on-demand manufacturing. The fashion industry is a major source of microplastic pollution through synthetic fiber shedding during production, washing, and disposal. Adopting circular practices could significantly reduce the amount of microplastic fibers entering the environment from textiles.
