Causal loop diagrams as a tool in textile innovation trajectories 1: Saxion University of Applied Sciences; 2: University of Twente Innovation in textile production and usage is gaining momentum, driven by both the urgent need for sustainable solutions and rising technological maturity of embedded functionalities in textiles. Traditional linear models of production and consumption are increasingly being replaced by product-service systems (PSS) that can extend product lifecycles through maintenance, reuse, and digital integration. Realizing the full potential of such innovations requires addressing complex interdependencies which are currently lacking within the day-to-day reality of textile innovation projects. We recognize Causal Loop Diagrams (CLDs) for their potential to gain insight into these complexities, but their intricacy limits their use in practice. In this paper we use a specific case to introduce CLD adaptations that can serve as practice-oriented tools for three phases in complex textile product development trajectories. We discuss how the tools could be used by product innovation teams and suggest future work on these and similar practice-oriented tools. View Paper: https://doi.org/10.21606/drs.2026.1509
