Análisis de la estrategia distrital “Red moda circular”

Abstract

Textile waste management poses a growing environmental challenge due to rising garment consumption and the limited implementation of mechanisms to facilitate waste recovery and utilization. In Bogotá, a significant proportion of this waste ends up in final disposal sites, placing increased strain on waste management systems and squandering materials with reuse and recycling potential. Against this backdrop, the Circular Fashion Network strategy has emerged as an initiative aimed at promoting circular economy principles through collaboration among public entities, social organizations, and productive sector stakeholders. An analysis of its implementation between 2020 and 2024 makes it possible to assess its contribution to strengthening sustainable practices, reducing textile waste, and generating social benefits linked to material recovery and utilization. Using a descriptive-analytical methodology grounded in the establishment of a baseline, the analysis of official data, and a review of regulations and specialized literature significant progress is identified in the consolidation of cooperation networks and the promotion of circular models. However, limitations regarding data availability and the strategy's implementation timeframe are also evident, complicating the assessment of its long-term impact. Consequently, strengthening mechanisms for monitoring, evaluation, and institutional coordination is essential to establishing a textile management system that is sustainable, inclusive, and aligned with the city's environmental development goals
