Here you'll find our example of the carbon footprint of a metre of fabric. We conducted a Life Cycle Assessment of fabric from our sister company, Offset Warehouse. We began by posing questions to the suppliers who grow the raw materials and weave the fabric, to ascertain how much carbon is released at every stage of the process. Find a list of the questions to ask your suppliers in our downloadable guide, How to Calculate the Carbon Footprint of your Products.
