KAFTI provides management solutions aligned with global ESG standards by quantitatively analysing environmental impacts across the full life cycle, from raw materials to disposal.
| LCA Stage | Assessment Scope: the total environmental impact of a single garment |
|---|---|
| STEP 01 Raw Material Production |
Assessment of energy and resource use in the initial sourcing of raw materials, including cotton and polyester. |
| STEP 02 Spinning and Weaving |
Assessment of electricity use and pollutant emissions during yarn production and fabric manufacturing. |
| STEP 03 Dyeing and Finishing |
A core assessment area focusing on the impact of heavy water use, chemical consumption and high-concentration wastewater generation. |
| STEP 04 Distribution and Use |
Assessment of environmental impacts from product transport, consumer washing and dry-cleaning. |
| STEP 05 Disposal and Recycling |
Assessment of textile-waste treatment, microplastic generation and recycling efficiency. |
▲ Hazardous chemical management and response to global standards, including REACH and ZDHC
▲ Quantitative analysis of environmental impacts across the full textile product life cycle, LCA
