Apparel & Textiles
Apparel and textile production and consumption generate significant environmental and social impacts and have lengthy supply chains, often with inaccessible or opaque associated data. These are challenges we can help you with.
Research estimates that, if the industry continues with current systems, 148 million tons of textile waste will end up in landfills by 2030.
Meanwhile, e-commerce logistics in major urban areas worldwide are expected to generate 25 million metric tons of CO2 by 2030, largely from delivery, transportation, and packaging waste.
