Isko first denim manufacturer to get EPD for products

The PCR is due to be published in November 2018 paving the way for consistent and comparable assessments of denim across the industry, increasing transparency of environmental impact, improving consumer awareness and driving environmental improvement, Isko press release said.

In order to fully understand the impacts involved in the textile supply chain, Isko has worked to obtain Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) of all of its 25,000+ denim products, in line with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. To ensure the validity of the LCAs, publicly available and independently verified EPDs have been produced by Isko, in line with ISO 14025. (RR)
