Scenario 2: Best practice in clothes cleaning
A garment has to be maintained, including cleaning, drying and pressing F3,一件衣服 必须保养。包括清洁、干燥和熨烫。 we assume that the cotton T-shirt is laundered 25 times during its life. In scenario 2a, we assume only that the wash temperature is reduced from 60º C to 40º C. In scenario 2b, we assume additionally that the T-shirt is hang-dried and not ironed.我们 假设棉T恤在生活中被洗了25次。在场景2a 中，我们只假设清洗温度从600℃减少到 400℃。在场景2b中，我们还假设T恤是晾干 的，不是熨烫的

the number of items bought annually is growing.In response to this trend,supermarkets like
AsdaandTescoanddothingchainslikePrimark and Matalan, have developed high fashion brands at very low prices .In some cases these outlets are able to make rapid copies of famous designers' fashion items. In 2005, 19% of all dothing and footwear was bought in supemarketsF thecombinationofconvenience and affordability is attractive.
In this theme we explore the positive impacts that UK consumers could have on the clothing and textiles sector – by changing either their buying patterns or their laundry practice. Two scenarios are compared with the base case from the previous section.

What are the major effects?
the old proverb may be just as true: a stitch in time, to prolong the life of the garment, could often use nine times less energy than replacement with new materials. Consumers could buy fewer higher quality garments – with the expectation of repairing them rather than disposing and replacing them when minor damage occurs. Discarded clothing could be upgraded by some form of remanufacturing: for instance replacing certain panels within a dress might allow a sufficient ‘fashion upgrade’ to give new value to otherwise outdated styles.. (消费者可以买到更少的高质量的衣服，

Changes in consumer behaviour
In this theme we explore the positive impacts that UK consumers could have on the clothing and textiles sector- by changing either their buying patterns or their laundry practice.Two scenarios are compared with the base case from the previous section.A key current trend in UK clothing demand is the growth in fashionable, low priced, 'disposable'clothing. H&M, Topshop and Inditex are examples of companies providing relatively low priced fashionable dothing through flexible, fast supplychainswhich allow clothing collections to be changed eveny two to three weeks.This encourages consumers to shop more often and

Leasing clothes instead of buying them itally
the idea of leasing dothing rather than purchasing it seems unattractive to manyconsumers. However,forsomedlothing and textileproducts leasing isalreadycommon practice.Examplesof leasing include forma anc evening wear, maternity dothes; school uniforms; sports dlothing linen for restaurantsor hotels; uniformsfor hotels; protective dothing in industry; wedding dothes. Typically such uses are either for work or for a specific short term purpose, so the consumer does not feel an emotional attachment to the product. Leasing is an et fective way touseproductsfor moreof theirpotential life.
Second-hand clothing
The idea of taking usec dothing to a charity shop or dothing bank is well estab lished in the UK and around 30% of clothing disposed in the UK is collected in this manner. The remaining 70% is sent to landfill (60%) or incineration (10%)(refer tothe UK clothingand textiles mass balance in this report). However, very itle of this doth ing is re-sold in the UK - most of it is baled and sold on modity market abroad. The largest UK organisations involved in the collection and processing of second-hand dothing are Recydatex and the Salvation Army (through collaboration with Kettering Textiles). For the scenario on second-hand dothing the viscose blouse is taken as an exemplary product It is assumed that UK import demand fo viscose blouses will drop by 20% because of increased use of second-hand clothing. Instead of 32 5 milior pieces, the UK import demand will thus drop to 26 million.
