A Life Cycle Assessment is a systematic process used to evaluate the environmental impacts of a product through its life cycle. This methodology allows us to gain and share detailed information about the environmental footprint of our products. In the fashion industry, LCAs are generally conducted from cradle-to-gate. This means that the evaluated stages span from the origin of the raw materials to the finished piece but do not consider what happens after the garment is sold. 



Post-purchase impacts are difficult to measure as they largely depend on consumer habits and washing practices. However, by using natural fibers, the toxic effects on water and land are significantly reduced compared to synthetic fibers, which release microplastics when washed and take longer to decompose.
