LCA – Understanding the numbers


Each ROOTS products with an LCA shows these key figures:

  • kg CO₂ equivalent - The total climate impact of all greenhouse gases, converted into one standard unit, so you can compare like-for-like.
  • m³ Water Deprived - Not just water use, but where it’s used. This accounts for regional scarcity, because a litre in Egypt isn’t the same as a litre in the UK.
  • The key figures are measured in 5 phases

    1. Upstream – Raw materials and components: fibres, trims, packaging.

    2. Core Process – Production: spinning, weaving, dyeing, and assembly.

    3. Downstream – Transport and distribution. Smaller footprint than you'd think.

    4.1 Use – Laundry – Washing during use. 40 cycles for coveralls, trousers and jackets, 2 for parkas, bodywarmers and softshell jackets

    4.2 Disposal – End-of-life: landfill, incineration, recycling, or reuse.
