Life Cycle Assessment on fashion industry: four case studies

As one of the most environmentally harmful industries worldwide, the fashion industry urgently requires sustainable practices to mitigate its impact. This paper analyses the literature to determine the importance of a monitoring tool such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), as an enabler for the transition towards sustainable business models within the fashion industry. The aim is to analyse the literature to highlight benefits, limitations, and case studies that can serve as a basis for the implementation of this tool in fashion companies to make them more sustainable. This work is also a preparatory aim, for the creation of case studies that will be carried out in companies in the context of the Marche Region, Italy, where this industry has an important strategic and economic relevance.
