About

Sumayya Qayum is a forward-thinking researcher whose work centers on sustainable practices within the textile industry, with a particular focus on the circular economy. Her most-cited paper, "The Circular Economy Concept in the Textile Industry" (2025), has garnered 6 citations, marking a foundational contribution to a rapidly evolving field. In this work, Qayum critically examines how textile production and consumption can transition from a linear "take-make-dispose" model to a regenerative system that minimizes waste and maximizes resource efficiency. Her research addresses pressing environmental challenges, offering actionable frameworks for recycling, upcycling, and designing for longevity. By bridging theoretical concepts with practical industry applications, Qayum provides a roadmap for stakeholders—from manufacturers to policymakers—to reduce the sector's ecological footprint. Her insights are particularly timely as global demand for sustainable textiles grows, positioning her as an emerging voice in environmental and materials science. Qayum’s work not only highlights the urgency of systemic change but also inspires further inquiry into circular innovations, making her a promising scholar for students and researchers interested in sustainability, industrial ecology, and textile engineering.
