Produktbeschreibung

Life Cycle Assessment of Textiles: Ultimate Guide on Environmental Impact of Textiles is a thorough examination of the environmental effects of textiles at every stage of their life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials to disposal, can be found in this guide.

The e-book, which is intended for students, industry experts, and sustainability activists, offers a concise and scholarly summary of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a crucial instrument for comprehending and enhancing textile sustainability.

The book begins by explaining what life cycle assessment (LCA) is and why it is important. It then goes on to explain how LCA is a scientific approach to measuring environmental burdens.

The main phases of a textile's life, raw material extraction, production, distribution, consumer use, and end-of-life, are presented, together with an exploration of the ISO standards (ISO 14040 and 14044) that regulate LCA practice.

The ecological impact of each stage is investigated, including waste production, chemical contamination, energy use, water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and microfiber shedding. The guide highlights the distinct environmental profiles of several fiber types, including cotton, polyester, wool, hemp, bamboo, recycled, and bio-based materials.

Additionally, it discusses geographical differences and the social effects of textile production, particularly in low-income nations where resource availability and labour conditions differ greatly.

Emphasising the need for more reliable data collection and better modelling methods, special attention is paid to data gaps and uncertainties that may impact LCA results. Additionally, it talks about how digital advancements like blockchain, IoT, and AI are advancing LCA by improving accuracy and traceability.

The ebook concludes by presenting LCA as a tactical instrument for promoting sustainable change in the textile sector. It pushes manufacturers, politicians, and brands to embrace system-wide, evidence-based practices rather than dispersed eco-efforts.

The guide equips stakeholders to make well-informed decisions that reduce environmental impact and advance circular, responsible textile systems by providing comprehensive insights and practical solutions.
