Abstract Fashion upcycling, the process of using waste clothing and textiles to create new products, is an alternative to business-as-usual practices which can effectively address concerns on excessive consumption of energy and material resources and use of chemicals in the fashion industry. Scaling up fashion upcycling businesses could enable the transition of the fashion industry towards sustainability. Past studies in fashion upcycling have paid attention to limited aspects of the businesses, and comprehensive synthesis of viewpoints from diverse stakeholders involved in the business is lacking. This paper provides such a synthesis, focusing on the challenges and success factors for expanding (or scaling up) UK fashion upcycling businesses. Twenty three stakeholders in the UK were interviewed. Four different perspectives (by material suppliers, upcyclers, retailers and consumers) on challenges and success factors for scaling up fashion upcycling businesses in the UK as well as suitable actors to take actions for positive change were identified. Common challenges and success factors across stakeholders were highlighted. The paper further discusses theoretical and practical implications of the study.

多方利益相关者对扩大英国时尚再循环业务的看法

摘要 时装升级回收是利用废弃衣物和纺织品制造新产品的过程，是一种替代常规做法的方法，可以有效解决时装行业对能源和物质资源过度消耗以及化学品使用的担忧。扩大时尚升级回收业务可以促进时尚行业向可持续发展的转变。过去对时尚升级再循环的研究只关注业务的有限方面，缺乏对业务中不同利益相关者的观点的综合综合。本文提供了这样的综合，重点关注扩大（或扩大）英国时尚升级回收业务的挑战和成功因素。采访了英国的 23 名利益相关者。四种不同的观点（材料供应商，升级回收商、零售商和消费者）关于在英国扩大时尚升级回收业务的挑战和成功因素，以及采取积极变革行动的合适参与者。强调了利益相关者的共同挑战和成功因素。本文进一步讨论了该研究的理论和实践意义。
