FAQs

What is the carbon footprint of a skort?

A typical skort has a carbon footprint of around 12.5 kg CO2e. This estimate includes manufacturing, transportation, and material production, making it a relatively sustainable clothing option compared to other apparel. Choosing eco-friendly fabrics can further reduce its environmental impact.

How much CO₂ does a skort emit?

A typical skort emits approximately 12.5 kg CO2e during its production. This includes the entire lifecycle from manufacturing to transportation. The range can vary between 10 and 15 kg CO2e depending on materials and processes used.

What are the main sources of emissions from a skort?

The main sources of emissions from a skort include the production of textiles, especially if synthetic fibers like polyester are used, and the manufacturing process itself. Energy consumption during fabrication and transportation also contribute significantly, with a typical footprint around 12.5 kg CO2e.

How do I calculate the carbon footprint of a skort?

Arbor offers the best method to calculate the carbon footprint of a skort, but you can also use emission factors and follow LCA standards for accuracy. Typically, a skort's footprint ranges from 10 to 15 kg CO2e, with an average of about 12.5 kg CO2e depending on materials and manufacturing processes.

Is a skort sustainable?

A skort's sustainability depends on the materials and manufacturing process. Typically, they have a carbon footprint of around 12.5 kg CO2e, but eco-friendly options made from recycled or organic fabrics can significantly reduce this impact. Choosing sustainable brands can make a skort a more environmentally friendly choice.

How can companies reduce the carbon footprint of a skort?

Companies can lower a skort's carbon footprint by sourcing sustainable fabrics and optimizing manufacturing processes. Using eco-friendly materials and reducing waste can significantly cut emissions. On average, a skort's footprint is around 12.5 kg CO2e, but implementing these practices can bring it closer to the lower end of the range.

Are skorts bad for the environment?
