Abstract:
It is necessary for the entrepreneur to promote the transition from the linear model of extracting, manufacturing, selling, using and throwing away to revalue the components used in the life cycle of the products. In November 2021, the Circular Economy Law was published in Mexico, however, the concept is not known and sometimes misunderstood, which is why it is necessary to identify the metrics for the application of the CE in the textile sector in Tepeji del Rio., Hidalgo, where the units in this area are relevant to the country's economy. This is a case study where a review of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation model and the metrics proposed in the CE Law in Mexico was carried out. Tours were carried out in the different areas and interviews with company personnel. Among the findings were identified: Environmental education, Work environment, Life cycle analysis (LCA), Carbon Footprint (HC), Water Footprint (HH), Secondary resources, Supply chain, Value chain, SWOT and PESTEL, as the metrics on which the implementation of the circular economy depends. Implementation depends on the context and is proposed to emphasize LCA.
