fashionability
Techne Consulting has recently completed fashionability, a model for assessing the sustainability of the products of the fashion industry. The model calculates the environmental footprint of the product (PEF - Product Environmental Footprint) and, as part of the analysis, the carbon footprint (carbon footprint).
The model supports a database of upstream and downstream processes in which each process is characterized by indicators related to the evaluation of the environmental footprint, resource consumption and waste production.
The model was first applied to a case study for the backpack Take of InVitro Lab. The work was carried out to support the thesis of Martina Trozzi at IED in Rome. The thesis has produced a specific website www.modabilita.it dedicated to environmental sustainability of the products of the fashion industry. The website will represent in the future a portal for access to the fashionability model.
