Eco-Metrics

The world’s first web-based tool for the simple assessment of the environmental impacts of textile production. Using cleverly derived Environmental Damage Units (EDU’s) the impact of different fibres, fabric weights and dyeing and finishing methods can be compared in terms of water impact, energy use, use of non-renewable resources and pollution.

Created by Colour Connections, Ecometrics uses a simple colour coded report that enables users to see at a glance where a particular fabric or garment has most environmental impact and highlights the areas that require attention or, conversely, where products and methods are good. The easy-to-read colour coded grid conceals the complex mathematics involved but an overall indicative EDU score enables easy comparisons between different textiles to be made.

Coverage: An annual subscription covers access to this simple to use tool which cover thousands of fabric and garments combinations.

Significant discounts are availabe for multiple user access.
