Exploring Parental Engagement in Sustainable Practices for School Uniforms: A Circular Economy Perspective

The transition to a circular economy (CE) offers transformative solutions for mitigating the environmental, economic, and social challenges posed by the traditional linear 'take-make-dispose' model. This study investigates the integration of CE principles within the school uniform sector, focusing on parental behaviour, drivers, and barriers in purchasing school uniforms. The research aims to provide actionable recommendations for schools to enhance sustainability and reduce textile waste.
