Abstract
Circular fashion (CF) is of utmost importance in dancing sustainability and ethical practices by emphasizing the longevity of clothing and reducing waste. The active involvement of students, encompassing their knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP), holds great significance in driving progress and successful adoption CF strategies. In this study, the research aimed to analyze and determine the levels of KAP of BSHE and BSIE senior standing UPLB students. It identified varying patterns and trends on the process of pre-acquisition, utilization, and disposal of garments within the 6R principles (Rethink, Remanufacture, Repair, Rent, Reuse, and Recycle) of circular fashion. Results showed that both BSHE and BSIE generally have high knowledge on CF, mainly in the aspect of Remanufacture. Both cohorts also display favorable attitudes, most especially under Repair (and maintenance). In terms of practice, students do not typically exercise CF behavior, more evidently in the act of Recycling garments. BSHE was also observed to have higher KAP aggregated scores as compared to BSIE. To evaluate the relationship of all KAP domains, a correlation analysis was conducted and the results showed that there were positive weak correlations. However, there were moderate relationships under the same level of specificity of the 6R value chain mainly on Remanufacture Knowledge vs Attitude and Reuse Knowledge vs Attitude. Moreover, there were also positive moderate correlations between Sex assigned at birth vs Attitude and Practice as well as Classification of Residence vs Knowledge. Given all of this, it is essential to strengthen not just the cognitive and affective aspects of learning, but as well as those that target the practical areas of circular fashion.
