apparel and related retail products, from supply chain to the
selling floor. The retail industry is identified as the source of
10 percent of the world's carbon emissions.This book presents the
notable successes that have been achieved in the private sector.

collections, to reports on innovative technological advancements.

individual or the commitment of organizational management to
establish and uphold practices that cut the energy use, support
providers of raw materials with living wages and lifestyles, and
mount campaigns to educate the consumer on supporting products and
the overall circular economy. Resale, reuse, and remake comprise an
escalating movement that didn't exist even a decade ago to extend
the life cycle of products that previously had a high potential of
becoming landfill. It has become big business, sanctioned with
promotions across the retail board, from icons of mass
merchandising to small local workshops. Sustainability for Retail
offers businesses and consumers insight into beneficial
decision-making for themselves and for the greater environment. The
authors provide a comprehensive guide to the forces driving the
