This handbook is a compilation of comprehensive reference sources
that provide state-of-the-art findings on both theoretical and
applied research on sustainable fashion supply chain management. It
contains three parts, organized under the headings of "Reviews and
Discussions," "Analytical Research," and "Empirical Research,"
featuring peer-reviewed papers contributed by researchers from
Asia, Europe, and the US. This book is the first to focus on
sustainable supply chain management in the fashion industry and is
therefore a pioneering text on this topic. In the fashion industry,
disposable fashion under the fast fashion concept has become a
trend. In this trend, fashion supply chains must be highly
responsive to market changes and able to produce fashion products
in very small quantities to satisfy changing consumer needs. As a
result, new styles will appear in the market within a very short
time and fashion brands such as Zara can reduce the whole process
cycle from conceptual design to a final ready-to-sell
"well-produced and packaged" product on the retail sales floor
within a few weeks. From the supply chain's perspective, the fast
fashion concept helps to match supply and demand and lowers
inventory. Moreover, since many fast fashion companies, e.g., Zara,
H&M, and Topshop, adopt a local sourcing approach and obtain
supply from local manufacturers (to cut lead time), the
corresponding carbon footprint is much reduced. Thus, this local
sourcing scheme under fast fashion would enhance the level of
environmental friendliness compared with the more traditional
offshore sourcing. Furthermore, since the fashion supply chain is
notorious for generating high volumes of pollutants, involving
hazardous materials in the production processes, and producing
products by companies with low social responsibility, new
management principles and theories, especially those that take into
account consumer behaviours and preferences, need to be developed
to address many of these issues in order to achieve the goal of
sustainable fashion supply chain management. The topics covered
include Reverse Logistics of US Carpet Recycling; Green Brand
Strategies in the Fashion Industry; Impacts of Social Media on
Consumers' Disposals of Apparel; Fashion Supply Chain Network
Competition with Eco-labelling; Reverse Logistics as a Sustainable
Supply Chain Practice for the Fashion Industry; Apparel
Manufacturers' Path to World-class Corporate Social Responsibility;
Sustainable Supply Chain Management in the Slow-Fashion Industry;
Mass Market Second-hand Clothing Retail Operations in Hong Kong;
Constraints and Drivers of Growth in the Ethical Fashion Sector:
The case of France; and Effects of Used Garment Collection
Programmes in Fast Fashion Brands.
