What do the calculations include?

The CF of the clothes we wear is highly dependent on factors such as the type of fabric, the place of manufacture, the energy and chemicals used, or the transport to the final consumer. In addition, we must also consider the emissions of the store where these clothes are sold; in some cases it represents a very important proportion of the total emissions of the product (up to three times the emissions of manufacturing and transport). In this table, we have not included that factor, since clothes can be bought in a wide variety of stores or even online stores.
