Technical Study Overview
Completed in December 2020, this Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) quantifies the environmental benefits of diverted textile streams by comparing re-manufacturing processes to traditional virgin material production. The study, conducted in Gainesville, Florida, provides a rigorous framework for organizations to measure the real-world carbon and resource reduction achieved through upcycling.
Our research team analyzes the water and energy footprints associated with various textile categories, offering scalable data for retail supply chains looking to integrate circular economy principles. By moving toward verifiable upcycling metrics, organizations can transform waste streams into recognized environmental assets.
