This issue aims to address challenges regarding how environmental impact is measured<\/strong> and assessed across all phases of the fashion and textile product lifecycle from a multi-disciplinary perspective.<\/p>

It encourages critical evaluation of the reliability, authenticity, and usability of data across atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic environments.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>

Exploring how existing methods of quantification could be having a detrimental effect on sustainable development across the sector, it aims to critically analyse existing tools, methods, and metrics to improve environmental impact assessment methodologies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
