"So, how to really change such a perception, to really send a signal: ‘Okay, actually used clothing is not that bad, actually, we can really take advantage of such a commodity to develop or build a new circular fashion system’. It’s a significant change, and surely, we need more clear signals from the very top. And then of companies and fashion brands to these manufacturers. And to have a kind of assurance, okay, making investment in this area makes sense. I can really see the government support, I can even expect a reasonable return of financials."

21. SOUNDBITE (English) Shaway Yeh, fashion sustainability consultant:
"I think definitely remaking will help with the whole agenda, but it has to be put into the whole circular economy context. And so, it’s not just remaking, you need to start it from recyclable fibers and then all these waste textiles will be put into use again. I think that’s one of the fundamental parts. Globally, I think also in China, there’s a strong focus on that, how to better utilize waste materials."
