Clothing production stages

Clothing production stages are labor-intensive processes. Cutting, sewing, and ironing purposed machineries are utilized and electric energy is consumed. 

If we need to address the issue of consumer use phase impacts to reduce them, it is pertinent to quantify the impacts at use stage for various clothing products. With the basis of those scientific results only, one must be able to address and advise customers on sustainable use behaviour. Many research studies on LCA of textiles and clothing products with a chief focus on use phase and development of PCRs for various clothing products would enable a way to ensure sustainable consumer behaviour, which is of course, the need of the hour. 

Throughout human history a limited number of fibers provided the fabric used for clothing and other materials—wool, leather, cotton, flax, and silk. As early as 1664, Robert Hooke speculated that production of artificial silk was possible, but it took another two hundred years before synthetic fibers were produced. The production of synthetic fibers took place in two stages. The first stage, started in the last decades of the nineteenth century, involved chemical formulations employing cellulose as a raw material. Because the cellulose used in these fibers came from cotton or wood, the fibers...
