Abstract

Sustainability discussions in the apparel industry have traditionally focused on fabrics, fibres, and dyeing processes, while trims such as buttons, zippers, labels, and fasteners have received comparatively little attention. However, these components play a critical role in determining the environmental impact and recyclability of garments. This paper examines the growing importance of sustainable trims, explores alternative materials currently available in the market, and reviews bio-based and recycled options adopted by leading apparel brands. By incorporating renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable materials, sustainable trims can significantly improve garment recyclability and reduce overall environmental harm. The study emphasizes the need for lifecycle-oriented design approaches that integrate trims into circular fashion systems, thereby supporting long-term sustainability goals within the apparel industry.
