The Circular Fashion Manifesto 2025 is the result of the work of the Monitor for Circular Fashion (M4CF) at SDA Bocconi. It is an update of an existing pledge to the Textiles Transition Pathway, enhancing visibility and impact at the European level.
At the meeting on September 30, the Manifesto showcased the circularity projects developed within the Monitor for Circular Fashion and the Joint Position Paper, through which M4CF companies intend to bring several points to the attention of policy makers.

The 2025 circularity projects aim to introduce innovative solutions for sustainability and circularity.

  • Nova: The evolution of a “Star”, a project by Ferragamo with RadiciGroup, Conceria Antiba, ICEC, and UNIC, reimagined the Nova bag according to ecodesign principles. Renewable and biobased materials were used, ensuring traceability, chemical safety, and a design focused on durability. Temera created the digital voice of the project, presenting its features and key KPIs online.
  • "Closing the T2T recycling loop" by Oscalito and Musthad is the first closed-loop textile recycling project of the Monitor. Oscalito’s production waste is turned back into yarn and reused by the brand, thanks to Musthad’s platform. Temera created the digital voice of the project.
  • With DuckCare, Save The Duck, in collaboration with the repair hub Prism, offers a dedicated service to extend the life of its jackets. Certilogo created the digital voice of the project.
  • Save The Duck and YKK co-developed Easy Zip, a modular zipper puller that enables targeted maintenance interventions to increase the repairability of garments. Temera created the digital voice of the project.
  • The Furoshiki Wool project by Vibram and Manteco produced the Furoshiki model, which wraps around the foot and adapts to multiple sizes, reducing the number of molds and products to be
    and using Manteco’s recycled MWool fabric. Temera created the digital voice of the project.
  • The ongoing project Second Flow gives new value to unused YKK inventories of zippers and buttons, making them available on the B2B platform B/SAMPLY by Deda Stealth.

A key moment was the Q&A session with representatives of the European Commission, UNECE, Euratex, CNA, and EEN, which fostered direct dialogue between institutions and companies on the challenges and opportunities of circularity in the textile sector.

The initiative marked a strategic moment in consolidating the SDA Bocconi Monitor for Circular Fashion as a hub of research, innovation, and dialogue between academia, businesses, and institutions, with the goal of generating tangible impacts for the sustainability and competitiveness of the fashion system.
