A Black Cotton T-Shirt: The structure<\/h2>\n<p>A T-Shirt is a relatively simple product. Yet, there are a number of processes involved in its manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>We will ignore the packaging of the T-Shirt in this article. But even then, the processes behind the manufacturing of the T-Shirt are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Spinning the yarn,<\/li>\n<li>Turning the yarn into fabric,<\/li>\n<li>Coloring the fabric,<\/li>\n<li>Sewing the fabric into a T-Shirt,<\/li>\n<li>Discarding the waste.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>In Ecochain, the structuring of these processes would look like this:<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ecochain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/mobius1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6692\" src=\"https:\/\/ecochain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/mobius1.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"Environmental Footprint with Mobius - Structure\" width=\"924\" height=\"569\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Image 2.

Assigning database values to the products<\/h2>\n<p>Now, what impact does \u201c0,24 kg of Cotton Fibres\u201d actually have?<\/p>\n<p>To answer this question, we connect the cotton fibers to an impact reference in our LCI (Life Cycle Inventory) database: <a href=\"https:\/\/ecochain.com\/blog\/what-is-ecoinvent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ecoinvent<\/a>. Ecoinvent provides us with all the latest environmental footprint data for any given material.<\/p>\n<p>After connecting the data, here is the footprint of manufacturing our T-Shirt.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6695\" src=\"https:\/\/ecochain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/mobius2-1024x516-1.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"Environmental Footprint with Mobius - Footprints\" width=\"1024\" height=\"516\" \/><figcaption>Image 3.

So, we can\u2019t say for certain what they will include yet.
