Body Text: <p>Optimising material use through garment engineering technologies can reduce or even eliminate waste. This will reduce the need for raw materials and related earlier processing steps, which will reduce carbon, water and waste impacts across the supply chain as well as costs. </p> <p>For example, it is estimated that every kilogram of cotton saved at the t-shirt manufacturing stage equates to a 26 kg CO2e carbon saving [1].</p>

Body Text: <p>Virtual technology has revolutionised the way Adidas conducts its sampling and selling-in of new products.</p> <p>Physical prototypes and sales samples are being replaced with virtual 3D files, which has reduced product development time by a third, from 18 to 12 months [1]. In addition to the saving of time and money, the reduced need to produce and ship physical samples reduces waste and environmental impacts.</p>

Body Text: <p>Customisation and personalised product has the potential to contribute to the emotional durability of clothing and hence increase its lifetime. This will reduce the environmental footprint of clothing by spreading the impacts of production across a greater lifetime, and displacing the need for new clothing. </p> <p>For example, it is estimated that the production of one pair of jeans in China has a carbon footprint of 34 kg CO₂e, while research for WRAP suggests that the typical lifetime of trousers is two years [1]. The production-related carbon footprint is therefore 17 kg CO₂e per year. Doubling the lifetime of the jeans would halve this annual production footprint. At the same time it may displace the need for new jeans, which would give further carbon savings.</p>
