  • Rapport D'activite |2014
    RAPPORT D’ACTIVITE | 2014 1. Introduction et chiffres clés d’Ecofolio en 2014 Le 8e exercice social d’Ecofolio atteste d’un changement de modèle. Le déchet est devenu une ressource pour tous. La mission de l’éco-organisme est bien de récolter ces mines urbaines que constituent les contenants de collecte sélective pour faire des vieux papiers la matière première compétitive des industries de demain. La dynamique n’est plus la même : auparavant le déchet coûtait, polluait et ne trouvait pas de débouchés. Nos vieux papiers sont désormais des ressources alternatives au bois qui se raréfie, et des vecteurs de croissance et d’emplois pour demain. L’économie circulaire est la seule réponse à la raréfaction des ressources et à la nécessaire sobriété carbone de nos économies. Elle est une promesse de croissance nouvelle et pérenne qui réconcilie l’amélioration écologique et la création de valeur. Ecofolio doit agir avec toutes les parties prenantes pour amorcer ce cercle vertueux de la croissance verte et transformer l’éco-contribution acquittée par les metteurs sur le marché en investissement pour des usines, des emplois et de la qualité écologique. L’année 2014 a permis à Ecofolio de déployer pleinement les actions prévues à son 2e agrément : davantage de soutiens pour soutenir majoritairement le recyclage, mais aussi de nouveaux financements pour accompagner la rationalisation de la collecte et du tri des vieux papiers (dispositif d’accompagnement au changement), des actions renforcées en matière de communication/information et sensibilisation toujours conduites comme des campagnes de cause et non de marque. Et toujours des actions majeures en termes de R&D et d’études pour améliorer la recyclabilité des produits en papier et les performances de la collecte et du tri.

  • Retailing, Clothing and Textiles Production in Australia
    Retailing, Clothing and Textiles Production in Australia Sally Weller* *Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Strategic Economic Studies, Victoria University, Melbourne Working Paper No. 29 Centre for Strategic Economic Studies Victoria University October 2007 PO Box 14428 Melbourne VIC 8001 Australia Telephone +613 9919 1340 Fax +613 9919 1350 Website: http://www.cfses.com Email: [email protected] Contact: [email protected] Retailing, Clothing and Textiles Production in Australia Sally Weller1 Keywords: Australia, clothing, textiles, retailing, trade liberalisation Introduction Although the Australian textiles and clothing manufacturing industries have been contracting steadily since the early 1970s, the range of activities involved in bringing clothing and related products to the market remain a major component of the national economy and an important source of employment, especially in urban areas. This paper provides an overview of the actors engaged in bringing clothing and clothing-related textiles to Australia’s consumer markets. It considers the consumer market, garment retailing, importing, wholesaling, garment production and garment-related textiles production as well as the various intermediaries who link these functions together and ensure that the garments reaching consumer markets accord with consumer tastes. The organisational configuration of the clothing and related industries in Australia differ from those in Europe and the United States for four principle reasons. First, the unique configuration of the Australian space-economy constitutes a major barrier to firm growth. The vast distances between urban centres and the sparse population densities within cities make it difficult for firms to develop national markets. Consequently, in most industries one or two large firms specialising in high volume products dominate at the national scale, whilst large numbers of smaller firms operate in local, city-wide or State territories.
