Eco-metrics is a new, unique and extremely powerful environmental impact calculator for the textile industry, which compares different fibres, fabrics, garments and processes in a simple drop-down menu format and comes up with a score or rating based on 'Environmental Damage Units'.

Users can query Eco-Metrics for thousands of combinations of garment types based on the method of production by choosing a combination of:

• Garment type
• Fibre used
• Yarn type
• Dyeing method
• Fabric weight
• Finishing method

Users can then select from how they expect customers to care for their garment by choosing:

• Wash temperature
• Life expectancy
• Drying Method

A complex proprietary algorithm, which has been built based on industry-average performances and huge amounts of data then analyses the four main environmental impacts of the drop down selection. These four impacts include:

• Impact on water
• Energy Consumption
• Use of non-renewable materials
• Pollution
