Summary/Abstract: Transformation to a circular economy requires significant changes in production and consumption patterns. The methods of introducing these changes will be different in specific industries. The specificity of the industry requires a unique approach and precise analysis. The aim of the article is to analyze the role of a consumer in the transformation of textile and clothing industry towards circular economy. In particular, it aims to analyze the determinants of consumers’ behavior with the unused clothing. The survey conducted on the representative sample of adults in Poland, showed that consumers’ behavior in this area was significantly differentiated by sociodemographic variables such as sex, education and place of residence. The relationship was less apparent in the case of age.
