This systematic review of life cycle assessments for the textile industry identified key environmental impact hotspots across the supply chain, finding that fiber production and dyeing processes dominate environmental burdens and that eco-design strategies offer the greatest improvement potential.
Environmental Impacts in the Textile Sector: A Life Cycle Assessment Case Study of a Woolen Undershirt
A life cycle assessment of a woolen textile product quantified the environmental impacts across its production stages, using the study as a case example to demonstrate how LCA methodology can guide the textile industry toward lower-impact manufacturing.
Sustainable Textile Industry: An Overview
This review examines the environmental sustainability challenges of the textile industry, covering chemical pollution, high water and energy consumption, and solid waste generation at every production stage, while discussing strategies such as sustainable materials, cleaner processing, and circular economy approaches.
Production waste of the textile and clothing industry in sustaindevelopment context
Researchers identified and categorized production waste streams from the textile and clothing industry, assessed their environmental impacts in a sustainable development context, and proposed waste minimization strategies in response to increasing EU regulatory pressure.
A Review on Textile and Clothing Industry Impacts on The Environment
This review examines how textile and clothing industry operations — including dyeing, finishing, and synthetic fiber production — contribute to water, air, and soil pollution, documenting the downstream effects on aquatic organisms, human health, and plants, and evaluating mitigation approaches across the industry's environmental impact categories.
Life cycle assessment in fashion industry: a systematic review
This systematic review of life cycle assessments in the fashion industry (2010-2024) found persistent methodological inconsistencies that undermine the reliability of sustainability claims. The review identifies microplastic emissions from textiles as a growing but poorly incorporated impact category, highlighting a gap in understanding the full environmental footprint of clothing.
Environmental Management and Its Impact on CSR Activities in the Field of Sustainable Development
This is a corporate social responsibility and sustainability study focused on the textile and clothing industry's environmental management practices; it is not a microplastics research paper.
Calculating the Environmental Impact Reduction Due to Extended Lifespan of Clothing Through Clothing Swaps
Researchers developed and implemented an algorithm for calculating the environmental impact reduction achieved through clothing swaps on a peer-to-peer sharing platform, quantifying how extended garment lifespan reduces textile waste and associated microplastic fiber emissions.
Combining Flexible and Sustainable Design Principles for Evaluating Designs: Textile Recycling Application
Researchers developed a framework combining flexible and sustainable design principles to evaluate textile recycling technologies. The study addresses the growing environmental burden of textile waste in the U.S., where over 15 million tons are discarded annually with less than 15% recycled, contributing to microplastic pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed evaluation method aims to help identify recycling approaches that are both economically viable and environmentally responsible.
An Empirical Analysis of Sustainable Denim Washing Technology in the Apparel Industries
This study empirically analyses sustainable denim washing technologies in the apparel industry, evaluating the environmental performance, economic viability, and consumer acceptance of biodegradable and non-toxic wet and dry washing processes compared to conventional chemical treatments.
Life-Cycle Assessment as a Next Level of Transparency in Denim Manufacturing
This study applied life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to denim manufacturing to quantify its environmental impact across the full production chain. Results revealed that water use and chemical dyeing were among the most burdensome stages. The research supports the growing need for transparent sustainability metrics in the fashion industry.
Promoting Sustainable Consumption: The Roles of Consumers’ Domain-Specific Environmental Knowledge and Personality Traits
This study adapted the environmentally responsible behavior model to examine how domain-specific environmental knowledge and personality traits influence sustainable consumption in the textile and apparel sector. Results showed that both subjective and objective environmental knowledge, mediated by personality factors, significantly shaped pro-environmental consumer behaviors.
Sustainable collection development towards greener future: Earthsavers
Researchers examined the 'Earthsavers' sustainable textile collection as a case study in environmentally aware fashion design, analyzing how the collection addresses environmental harms from the textile sector including waste disposal, resource depletion, and the role of synthetic plastic-based fabrics.
Eco-Gamification Platform to Promote Consumers’ Engagement in the Textile and Clothing Circular Value Chain
Researchers surveyed eco-gamification frameworks and analyzed their application to a proposed platform designed to engage textile and clothing consumers in circular economy behaviors such as consumer-to-consumer and consumer-to-business product exchange, aiming to extend product lifetimes and reduce the textile sector's substantial environmental footprint.
Understanding the Flows of Microplastic Fibres in the Textile Lifecycle: A System Perspective
The lifecycle flows of microplastic fibers through the textile industry were mapped, identifying key stages from fiber production through washing and disposal where fibers are shed and enter the environment. This systems-level analysis supports targeted interventions to reduce fiber microplastic pollution at source.
Determination of environmental sustainability practices in the apparel sector of Sri Lanka
Researchers investigated environmental sustainability practices across the value chain of Sri Lanka's export-oriented apparel sector, which contributes over 40% of the country's export income. The study mapped environmental impacts from yarn manufacturing through final finishing across approximately 300 manufacturers and identified practices implemented to mitigate these impacts.
Life Cycle Based Comparison of Textile Ecolabels
This life cycle analysis compared multiple textile ecolabels for their coverage of key environmental impact categories including microplastic fiber release, finding significant gaps in how current labels address the full environmental footprint of textile production.
Analysis of Socio-economic, Technological, Environmental Characteristics of the Life Cycle of Textile Products
This review analyzes the socio-economic, technological, and environmental characteristics across the full life cycle of textile products and their impacts on human health and natural resources. The analysis found that 45% of textiles can be reused and 30% processed into technical textiles, and that extending service life by nine months can reduce energy, water, and CO2 emissions by up to 30%.
