Abstract
This thesis investigates how Uzbek textile clusters can adapt to the growing global demand for sustainable and circular textile production, addressing the critical question of successfully integrating circular economy (CE) principles into their operations and export strategies. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative analysis of industry data with qualitative interviews with cluster stakeholders, the research identifies key barriers and opportunities for adaptation. Notable findings highlight the need for enhanced collaboration among stakeholders and the establishment of comprehensive sustainability programs to improve workforce skills and resource efficiency. The thesis concludes by proposing a strategic framework designed to enhance sustainability and circularity within Uzbek textile clusters, offering actionable recommendations for producers, policymakers, and international collaborators.
