Supporting the person-product relationship and how sustainable development is at the core connecting values with consumption. There is a choice behind every act of consumption, directly reflecting the values of the individual. However, Shove (2007, 126) argues that value is unpredictable and based on personal emotions. Therefore, creating a product with value can be challenging. Due to the changing needs of the consumer, it\u2019s difficult to create a relationship with a product and even more difficult to sustain the relationship if it&#8217;s ever created (Niinim\u00e4ki 2011, 46-57).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/11\/573_2021_Consumer-relationship-with-garments_1-1024x513.jpg\" alt=\"Two women looking and touching pink pants on a rack in a clothing store.\" class=\"wp-image-5861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/11\/573_2021_Consumer-relationship-with-garments_1-1024x513.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/11\/573_2021_Consumer-relationship-with-garments_1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/11\/573_2021_Consumer-relationship-with-garments_1-768x385.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/11\/573_2021_Consumer-relationship-with-garments_1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Picture 1.

Supporting the person-product relationship and how sustainable development is at the core connecting values with consumption. DIY (do it yourself) can create value and attachment towards the product more similar actions should be made to encourage the user towards sustainable behaviour and to involve citizens in a circular economy. However, DIY clothes create value, not as clothes, but as memorabilia as they are self-made. They become like your kids\u2019 drawings you don\u2019t use them for anything, but you still hold on to them. As we humans treasure these kinds of memories, but from an angle of sustainable design, it does not make sense to create more physical products into people\u2019s homes that they don\u2019t need and that won\u2019t replace the need to buy new products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Annually Finns buy around 13 kg of new clothes and home textiles per person. Globally, clothing is produced nine times more than it is consumed. The production of textiles requires a lot of water and produces carbon dioxide emissions. The greatest environmental impact comes from laundry and maintenance (Martat 2021a.) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.martat.fi\/in-english\/\">The Martha Organization<\/a>, a Finnish home economics organization,\u00a0founded in 1899 to promote well-being and quality of life in the home, is promoting a sustainable lifestyle with their current campaign <a href=\"https:\/\/www.martat.fi\/martat\/yhdistyskanava\/toiminta\/harkitse-korjaa-ja-kierrata\/\">\u201dCloset: Consider, Repair, Recycle&#8221; (In Finnish)<\/a>. informing how to implement sustainable consumption choices, as well as promoting social inclusion and teaching at webinars and events how to repair and mend clothes together.

In the podcast the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interregeurope.eu\/ceci\/\">CECI<\/a> project discusses with Vaatepuu business, about the clothing industry as a concept in the sharing economy. <a href=\"https:\/\/vaatepuu.fi\/\">Vaatepuu (in Finnish)<\/a> lends garments like a library. The practice encourages Finns to participate in the circular economy by adopting sustainable consumption habits and maximizing clothing use. While adopting new consumption habits and extending the lifecycle of products. Furthermore, the practice ensures that the citizens can rent first the garments and later buy items that fit and suits them and thus ensuring longevity and continued use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b3edfb\">Author <br><br><strong>Anna Svartstr\u00f6m<\/strong> works as an RDI Specialist in LAB University of Applied Sciences and is a project developer at the CECI project.
