Water Footprint Assessment in Textile Manufacturing
topic
Textile water footprint quantification using ISO 14046 and the Water Footprint Network methodology distinguishes blue water consumption of surface and groundwater, green water of rainwater in agriculture, and grey water required to dilute process wastewater to ambient quality standards, applying water scarcity characterisation factors to weight consumption in water-stressed production regions.
Role
Identifies the dominant water consumption stages in textile production from cotton irrigation through dyehouse wet processing, enabling water stewardship strategies targeted at the highest impact production geographies and processes, and providing the water impact data required for environmental product declarations and water neutrality claim substantiation.
