It is organized into three parts: first, it addresses product lifecycle changes, including innovations in materials, manufacturing, distribution, use, and re‑use; second, it explores systemic shifts through new business models that aim to reduce material throughput; third, it discusses the evolving role of fashion designers, illustrating how they move beyond creation toward communication, activism, or facilitation. A foreword by Paul Hawken frames the discussion in the context of environmental policy and industrial ecology.
