ClearLife 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.

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.
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%.
Business strategy and innovative models in the fashion industry: Clothing leasing as a driver of sustainability
Researchers explored clothing leasing as a circular business model that could reduce the fashion industry's environmental footprint, which ranks among the largest sources of global pollution. Using multicriteria analysis, they evaluated the sustainability potential of leasing compared to the traditional fast-fashion model of producing and discarding garments. The study suggests that leasing-based models could meaningfully reduce textile waste and resource consumption in the fashion sector.
Life Cycle Logistics of Clothing and Textile Products and their Impact on Developing Countries
This study examines the life cycle of clothing and textile products, focusing on how the global trade in second-hand textiles affects developing countries, particularly in Africa. Researchers found that the uncontrolled influx of preowned textiles contributes to deindustrialization, unemployment, and environmental pollution, including microplastic contamination from degraded synthetic fabrics in landfills. The study suggests that local textile industries in developing countries need to adopt new manufacturing technologies to remain competitive and reduce environmental harm.
Can fashion be sustainable? Trajectories of change in organizational, products and processes, and socio-cultural contexts
This article provides a comprehensive framework for understanding sustainability in the fashion industry across three key dimensions: organizational change, innovation in products and processes, and socio-cultural transformation. Researchers analyzed how shifts in management practices, materials science, and consumer behavior collectively shape the industry's sustainability efforts. The study highlights that meaningful progress requires coordinated action across all three dimensions rather than isolated initiatives.
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.
Life Cycle Assessment in a Nutshell—Best Practices and Status Quo for the Plastic Sector
This paper reviewed life cycle assessment (LCA) best practices as applied to the plastics sector, aiming to make LCA methodology more accessible to non-experts and improve environmental decision-making across the plastic value chain.
How Important is the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Study of Plastic Waste? Use of Bibliometric Analysis to Reveal Research Positions and Future Directions
This paper is not about microplastics — it presents a bibliometric analysis of life cycle assessment (LCA) research on plastic waste from 2013 to 2022, mapping publication trends, leading countries, and key research themes.
Empowering Eco-Friendly Choices: An Environmental Impact Assessment Decision Support System for Textiles and Clothing
Researchers developed a decision support system for the textile and clothing industry to help producers calculate the environmental impact of their production processes. The tool covers key lifecycle stages and was designed to help both producers and consumers make more environmentally conscious decisions in a demanding sustainability market.
Systematic Insights into a Textile Industry: Reviewing Life Cycle Assessment and Eco-Design
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.
Sustainable production of marine equipment in a circular economy: deepening in material and energy flows, best available techniques and toxicological impacts
Researchers examined the environmental impacts of marine leisure equipment production within a circular economy framework, analyzing material and energy flows, best available techniques, and toxicological impacts to identify opportunities for more sustainable manufacturing practices.
Life-cycle Assessment of Microplastics in the Environment
This chapter applied life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to examine the full environmental impact of microplastics, from production through environmental release, covering ecological and human health impacts, methodological challenges of applying LCA to persistent pollutants, and knowledge gaps for future research.
Research on the Whole Life Cycle of a Furniture Design and Development System Based on Sustainable Design Theory
Researchers applied the AHP-QFD-AD method to develop a sustainable furniture design evaluation framework, integrating life cycle thinking, market research, and user needs analysis. The approach aims to extend furniture product lifespans and reduce environmental impacts throughout the design, manufacturing, and end-of-life stages.
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.
Microfibers in Life Cycle Assessment: Comparing the Physical Effects of Cellulosic and Synthetic Fibers via Characterization Factors Development
Researchers developed characterization factors for comparing the physical ecotoxicity of cellulosic and synthetic microfibers in Life Cycle Assessment, finding that despite high environmental abundance, cellulosic fibers had been previously excluded from LCA comparisons due to lack of species sensitivity data.
From Simplistic to Systemic Sustainability in the Textile and Fashion Industry
This paper is not about microplastic pollution. It examines sustainability challenges in the textile and fashion industry, arguing that current approaches are simplistic and insufficient. It proposes systemic solutions focused on circular value retention and sufficiency-based consumption to address waste, resource depletion, and pollution from fast fashion.

It is time to develop characterization factors for terrestrial plastic pollution impacts on ecosystems in life cycle impact assessment – a systematic review identifying knowledge gaps
Researchers reviewed how plastic pollution is — and is not — accounted for in life cycle assessments (LCAs), which are tools used to measure a product's full environmental footprint. They found that while ocean plastic impacts have been partially modeled, freshwater and terrestrial plastic pollution, including microplastics, are still missing from standard environmental impact calculations, leaving a major blind spot in sustainability analysis.
