Ever thought a textile could have an impact on global warming?

Are there *GHG emissions from my textile?

*GHG = Greenhouse-gas



Global climate change background

The phenomena of Global Warming and it’s possible influence on the world’s climate is omnipresent in media around the world

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the identified greenhouse gases and considered to be the main contributor to global warming ( CO2 measured in carbon footprint )

Meanwhile politicians continue discussing causes and consequences of CO2 emission, various enterprises have set-up teams to develop strategies for potential CO2 emission reduction programs

Various textile retailer/brands start analyzing their organizational impact on global warming and defined reduction targets



Carbon Footprint – DefinitionQuantitative measure of the impact human activities have on Global Warming in terms of the amount of green house gases produced

Carbon footprint is

Measured in kg CO2

Directly related emissions from energy use of fossil fuels

Assessed over the lifecycle of a operation, service or product

Carbon footprint is attributable to:
