Abstract The fashion industry weighs heavily in the global economy. It is the industry most permeable to changes in society in style, just as it causes changes in style in society. Between haute couture and retail, the textile industry moves millions of euros a year and encompasses many processes when manufacturing its products, always showing itself as a constant. Due to the large volume of products that generates the need for raw materials is also very large, taking into account the latter and the large number of processes that the industry has to implement a great impact on the environment. For this reason, this work shows how the combination of methodologies such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) or Enviromental Profit and Loss together with an internal tool for companies, can help to obtain information about the impacts of their production before taking it forward. Thanks to this information, it also allows companies to make decisions when implementing projects focused on sustainability and respect for the environment. In the theoretical part of the work, it is discussed how the fashion industry is currently in terms of sustainability and how the LCA and EP&L methodologies work. On the other hand, in the practical part, a comparison study of various garments and their possible alternative with less environmental impact is carried out. Keywords: LCA, E P&L, sustainability, environmental impact, fashion industry, Pulse Score. |
