Literature on Socio Economic Impacts

This consolidated deliverable brings together six literature reviews— three grey literature reviews and three systematic literature reviews— produced under Task 1.3. The evidence examines the socioeconomic impacts and third-country externalities associated with global textile circularity systems, with a focus on African textile reuse flows, post- consumer circularity in the EU, and sustainability transitions within global value chains. Together, these reviews provide a comprehensive foundation for Deliverable D1.6, assessing how EU textile waste, reuse and circularity policies shape labour conditions, market dynamics, environmental pressures and community livelihoods beyond the EU.
