Description
This study analyses how sustainable value is created along the Australian cotton value chain, as well as opportunities to create value. Twenty-one stakeholders were interviewed across two Australian cotton value chains from farm, to retail, to reuse. Participants identified what sustainable value is, how it is created, who it benefits both in and beyond the chain (including local communities, the environment, and consumers) and where future opportunities to create value may lie. The study extends understandings around sustainability and its value within the context of fashion and textile value chains and identifies practices that can further sustainability within the industry.
