Implication

Life cycle assessment reveals trade-offs in energy optimization and water recycling for the textile industry, suggesting pathways to sustainability.

Key Points

  • Energy optimization reduces global warming potential by 30.7%, but increases ecological risks, while water recycling reduces consumption by 43.9%.
  • Significant declines in fresh water availability in Pakistan highlight the urgent need for sustainable practices in the textile industry.
  • This analysis employs life cycle assessment to evaluate energy and resource impacts across different production scenarios in textiles.
  • To achieve long-term sustainability, the textile sector must manage trade-offs while adopting circular economy strategies.
