The textile and clothing industry has recognized the problem and is working towards reducing environmental damage by implementing various sustainability measures. It is well known that to assess the effect of good works done by the industry, there should be some parameters which can be measured objectively. There are various measures which are used to demonstrate the damage or improvement of the environment, such as Life Cycle Analysis, Carbon footprint, Water footprint, Ecological footprint, etc. This book covers all these measures and describes their implications and calculation methods, especially related to the textile and clothing industry.

Most of the books available in the market on this subject are not related to the textile and clothing industry. Available write-ups are mostly by researchers and are too in-depth, which are not easily understandable by practitioners. In addition to that, such reports and publications are very expensive.

This book contains eight chapters as follows 

  1. Sustainability, 
  2. Circular economy, 
  3. Life cycle analysis, 
  4. Carbon footprint, 
  5. Water footprint, 
  6. Ecological footprint, 
  7. Recycling of textile materials, 
  8. Traceability and supply chain management

According to the author, this book is suitable for practicing technicians, researchers, undergraduate students, and post-graduate students.
