This thesis covers the integration of Circular Economy principles into the supply chains of the Colombian luxury fashion industry. In-depth interviews with key stakeholders provided insight into the extent to which Colombian luxury brands have adopted strategies aligned with the three basic principles of the Circular Economy: waste reduction, circulation of products and materials, and regeneration of nature, and in addition, the application of the 10R Framework for the transition to the Circular Economy. The results reveal significant progress towards circularity, with companies innovatively using recycled materials, implementing make-to-order models and engaging in product recycling to reduce environmental impact. However, challenges remain, such as limited resources to measure emissions and a lack of government regulations comparable to those in regions such as the EU. This study highlights the industry's commitment to sustainability, pointing to current achievements and development areas. Through a qualitative approach, it provides information that could guide luxury brands around the world in aligning luxury with sustainability while positioning Colombian brands as potential leaders in green luxury.
Questa tesi riguarda l'integrazione dei principi dell'Economia Circolare nelle catene di fornitura dell'industria della moda di lusso colombiana. Interviste approfondite con i principali stakeholder hanno permesso di capire in che misura i marchi del lusso colombiano hanno adottato strategie allineate ai tre principi fondamentali dell'Economia Circolare: riduzione dei rifiuti, circolazione di prodotti e materiali e rigenerazione della natura, oltre all'applicazione del Quadro delle 10R per la transizione all'Economia Circolare. I risultati rivelano progressi significativi verso la circolarità, con aziende che utilizzano in modo innovativo materiali riciclati, implementano modelli make-to-order e si impegnano nel riciclo dei prodotti per ridurre l'impatto ambientale. Tuttavia, rimangono delle sfide, come le risorse limitate per misurare le emissioni e la mancanza di normative governative paragonabili a quelle di regioni come l'UE. Questo studio mette in evidenza l'impegno dell'industria per la sostenibilità, indicando i risultati attuali e le aree di sviluppo. Attraverso un approccio qualitativo, fornisce informazioni che potrebbero guidare i marchi del lusso di tutto il mondo ad allineare il lusso con la sostenibilità, posizionando i marchi colombiani come potenziali leader del lusso verde.

Abstract
This thesis covers the integration of Circular Economy principles into the supply chains of the Colombian luxury fashion industry. In-depth interviews with key stakeholders provided insight into the extent to which Colombian luxury brands have adopted strategies aligned with the three basic principles of the Circular Economy: waste reduction, circulation of products and materials, and regeneration of nature, and in addition, the application of the 10R Framework for the transition to the Circular Economy. The results reveal significant progress towards circularity, with companies innovatively using recycled materials, implementing make-to-order models and engaging in product recycling to reduce environmental impact. However, challenges remain, such as limited resources to measure emissions and a lack of government regulations comparable to those in regions such as the EU. This study highlights the industry's commitment to sustainability, pointing to current achievements and development areas. Through a qualitative approach, it provides information that could guide luxury brands around the world in aligning luxury with sustainability while positioning Colombian brands as potential leaders in green luxury.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
