Fashion and Textiles

The fashion industry is responsible for more CO₂ emissions than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. For this purpose, myclimate provides you with tools to better understand and reduce the emission footprint of your products and supply chains. In addition, myclimate gives you an opportunity to make a corresponding financial contribution to certified high-quality climate protection projects.

The carbon footprint of a single piece of apparel or textile is relatively small, the number of worldwide yearly purchases however is not. Producing fashion and apparel has various impactful sources of CO2-emissions, such as cultivation, harvesting, chemical processes, dyeing, cutting, and even logistics and long supply chains. Producing one kilogram of fabric typically produces 10–100 kg of CO₂.

All together the fashion industry is responsible for a significant amount of CO₂ emissions. Together with your company, we want to change this. Our team of scientists, climate experts and project developers has great expertise in measuring, calculating and optimizing supply chains in order to reduce the environmental impact. For unavoidable emissions, companies can make a climate protection contribution to certified high-quality climate protection projects.

Exped
Success Story

The Swiss manufacturer of outdoor equipment, Exped, has been calculating the emissions of its sleeping mats since 2021 and makes a corresponding financial contribution to climate protection with myclimate. Additional product categories are being added all the time. This flagship company in the outdoor industry wants to calculate the emissions of all its products with myclimate by 2024 and provide equivalent support to high-quality climate protection projects.

Vaude
Success Story

The compass of southern German mountain sport equipment company Vaude points in one direction: becoming Europe’s most sustainable outdoor sports company. It has now passed another milestone on its trail: the emissions of the entire company site in Tettnang and all products manufactured there are systematically recorded and a corresponding climate protection contribution is made to a myclimate project in China.
