“Circularity” has become a buzzword in the fashion world, with brands using the catchall term to refer to everything from using eco-friendly materials to selling secondhand goods. But becoming a truly circular company is harder than it looks, as [Timberland](https://www.timberland.com/), the iconic American boot brand founded in 1973, is discovering firsthand.

Now the big question is whether enough consumers will be willing to go through the effort of returning their old products, and whether Timberland can scale this program.
