Textile production facilities have a critical role to play in achieving the industry's goals to reduce water usage and carbon emissions 30% by 2030. In addition, water risk is growing and today the apparel sector is underperforming on measuring and monitoring water impact. Consumers and brands alike are increasingly selecting products and companies that demonstrate action and make commitments on key environmental topics like water usage and climate change. Oeko-Tex has recognized this and has already started to develop a systematic analysis option in the sense of a life cycle assessment in 2020. The data can be determined with the help of the new Impact Calculator for STeP by Oeko-Tex. Oeko-Tex Association, Zurich/Switzerland, has partnered with Quantis, Lausanne/ Switzerland, a leading science-based sus-tainability consultancy, to develop a transparent methodology and data models to help facilities quantify their carbon and water impacts.
