Abstract
This study aims to foster apparel students’ knowledge of denim sustainability. The two research objectives were (1) to increase students’ knowledge about denim sustainability innovations and (2) to enhance students’ competency in applying this knowledge to promote sustainability among denim brands. To address the objectives, we employed problem-oriented and project-based learning (POPBL) as a pedagogical approach to develop an experiential learning module.
Keywords: sustainability, denim, cotton, innovation, circularity
