A new LCA-based ecological design for cotton fabric
According to the principles of life cycle assessment (LCA), a new LCA-based ecological design methodology for cotton fabric is proposed in this paper. A factor system based on the environmental influences of global, regional and local areas is established, which includes the resource consumption, global warming, oxygen depletion, acidification, eutrophication, speck or ash and ecological toxicity. These factors are used to evaluate the potential environmental impact. Based on the characteristics of cotton textiles and the environment principles of ecological design, the ecological design process of cotton-fabric product is divided into several stages such as raw material, production, sale, usage and disposition. In particular, the results of the LCA-based ecological design are assessed with environment impact load (EIL). After ecological design the EIL of cotton textiles is decreased and it is recommended that EIL=0.484 could be taken as a default setting to judge whether cotton textiles is environmental-friendly.
