摘要

This paper presents the readiness of Australian customers reusing used clothes as a means of achieving sustainability. This paper provides a thorough analysis of the body of existing literature to understand the status of secondhand clothing usage in Australia. In the Australian market context, this study examined sustainability factors like cooperative consumption, clothing disposal techniques, purchasing secondhand clothes, consumers concerns and attitudes toward reuse, and the seller's willingness to provide sustainable solutions for clothing consumption. This study’s major research impact helps determine if consumers in Australia are prepared to embrace apparel reuse, or remaking and repurposing, as a sustainable method of clothing consumption after it reaches the end of its useful life (EOL). The Australian Fashion Council led the consortium that was supported by the Australian Government, and its reports were intended to create the circular economy for clothes.
