Environmental Product Declaration

Declared unit:1 pair of jeans delivered to an average retailer platform. .

Time representativeness:The production data in the LCA study represents the period from 1st January 2020 and 30th June 2020 .

Database and LCA software used:SimaPro v9.1 software with Ecoinvent v3.6 database

Description of system boundaries:Cradle-to-gate with options

Excluded lifecycle stages:Retail, Customer Travel, Customer Use and End-of-life stages have been excluded in the system

boundary and not taken into account in the LCA study.

Data quality and data collection:Site specific data is collected for the core processes from Cross Textiles for the period between 1st January to 30th June 2020. Samples are produced for both products. Specific energy and chemical

consumption values are collected from the manufacturing per load per machine. Selected generic data is used for upstream processes and obtained from Ecoinvent v3.6. Specific and selected generic data

achieve the ISO 14044 data quality requirements and time representatives.

Denim fabric makes the main component of the jeans and impacts caused by denim fabric manufacturing is solely depending on the denim mill. Denim fabric data is collected from the denim mill

per individual product.

Allocation:Allocation was avoided by dividing the unit process into two or more sub-processes and collecting the

environmental data related to these sub-processes. There has been no allocation conducted for the LCA study.

Cut – off rules:Life Cycle Inventory data for a minimum of 99 % of total inflows to the three life cycle stages have been

included. Waste generated from core presses have been excluded due to the cut-off rule. Impacts caused by treatment operations have been calculated lower than 1% environmental relevance.

Regarding material and chemical inputs, no cut-off rule has been applied.
