Through the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the study compares the environment impacts of two fabrics with different compositions: a 100% conventional cotton fabric versus a fabric with 60% pre-consumer recycled cotton and 40% conventional cotton fibers. The main purpose is to prove how much environmental impacts can be reduced using pre-consumer recycled cotton.
