Number on your T-shirt

We want to shine a light on the most significant factors when evaluating the environmental impact of a T-shirt. However, the actual impact is difficult to calculate in precise terms, as there is a multitude of different processes behind each T-shirt, including everything from the extraction of raw materials and production to distribution, not to mention the number of times each T-shirt is used and washed.

A complex size

The carbon footprint is a complex and difficult measurement, and so it’s not easy to put a number on the environmental impact of your T-shirt. Nevertheless, we want to make the process more transparent by providing insight into what your T-shirt has to go through from raw materials to disposal, as well as what you can do to reduce your carbon footprint through your consumption of clothing.

YOUR T-SHIRT
GO THROUGH?

 

We go all the way

When we say that “we go all the way,” we look at the various environmental consequences of the clothing industry - from raw material extraction to production, transport, use and ultimately disposal.
