Fashion Footprint Calculator
Welcome to the Fashion Footprint Calculator! This tool helps you estimate the environmental impact of your clothing purchases. Simply provide the details below and click “Calculate Footprint” to see your estimated score.
How the Results Work
The Fashion Footprint Calculator estimates your environmental impact based on four factors:
- Clothing Type: Different types of clothing (e.g., T-Shirt, Jeans) have different environmental impacts due to the resources required for their production.
- Quantity Purchased Per Year: The more items you purchase, the higher your footprint.
- Material: The type of material (e.g., Cotton, Polyester) affects the footprint since some materials require more resources and energy to produce.
- Shipping Method: Local shipping has a lower impact compared to international shipping due to the shorter distance traveled.
The final score is a simple multiplication of these factors, providing an estimated footprint score. This helps you understand and potentially reduce your environmental impact by making informed choices about your clothing purchases.
