Life Cycle Assessment and Carbon Impact Assessment

Abstract

The textile industry is actively investigating methods and technologies to enhance its environmental performance because of its substantial and well-known impact on greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. The internationally acknowledged Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) technique is a primary tool for calculating environmental consequences. Specifically for the computation of the impact of textile products in the apparel and footwear category, Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCRs) are developed. A growing number of companies are joining the sustainable movement as customers become more conscious of the effects that the items they use have on the environment. These companies must examine their supply chains and product designs and search for ways to reduce pollution and carbon emissions to lower their effect. This paper has reviewed Case studies on the Life Cycle Assessment of T-shirts, the most commonly used garment.
