چکیده
The circular economy has been proposed to transform global textile supply chains which are currently challenged by a complex nexus of sustainability issues related the dominant fast fashion trend. Research on in sector often focuses businesses or consumers as key enablers transitions, yet it treats them independent entities and thereby neglects study interactions that can provide insight at systems level. proclaimed “circular mission” Netherlands setting national target for 100% circularity 2050 is used case address this research gap. We explore transition processes found context Dutch mission compare development among various technical non-technological solutions produced engaged actor constellations assessing factors driving blocking overall fulfilment. To these ends, we derive theoretical framework based innovation system theory conceptualize Mission-oriented Innovation System (MIS). Analyzing structure functioning mission-oriented system, show (1) there good match between formal perceptions; (2) actors have formed structures around three solution trajectories system: secondhand, mechanical recycling, chemical recycling; (3) expose distinct virtuous vicious cycles, characterize (4) entire formative. Overall, secondhand trajectory shows most developed positive dynamics, recycling carries technological breakthrough potential, whereas mature technology but lacks market demand supply. trajectories, discuss disruptive nature transition, suggest installing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) potential intervention accelerating transformation. concludes with reflections learnings considerations further systems.
