Carbon footprint:

  • According to estimates by agencies attached to the United Nations, the textile industry is responsible for 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, mainly CO2 and methane.
  • 1,700 million tons of carbon dioxide is more than are emitted each year by air and sea transport combined.
  • Production of fabrics and finished garments: Production stages such as spinning, weaving, dyeing, and sewing also generate greenhouse gas emissions, both from energy consumption and the use of chemicals.
