Developed collaboratively with industry experts, it enables credible, data-driven climate action across the textile supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tool assesses the energy use and GHG emissions performance of textile manufacturing facilities, with a current scope of spinning, weaving, knitting, wet-processing (including garment washing), and garment manufacturing. Unlike existing tools that report aggregated factory data, it allows the calculation of process-level performance, distinguishing between vertical and non-vertical facilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach provides tailored, quantitative indicators that help identify efficiency gaps and improvement opportunities, supporting continuous progress toward decarbonization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","faq-categories":[132],"class_list":["post-28998","faq-posts","type-faq-posts","status-publish","hentry","faq-categories-carbon-and-energy-benchmark"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq-posts\/28998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq-posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faq-posts"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"faq-categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq-categories?post=28998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
