The First True Metric for Product Sustainable Differentiation For decades, companies have competed on tangible factors—price, durability, quality, and health impact. Currency determines cost. Time measures longevity. Grams and calories quantify nutrition. But when it comes to climate impact, there is no universal metric that enables direct comparison. Not because it doesn’t exist, but because no one has successfully made it practical, transparent, and actionable. What Do We Offer Companies? ZeroPact transforms climate impact into a measurable, comparable, and strategic advantage. Sustainability is no longer just a vague claim or a certification stamp—it becomes a tangible, data-driven differentiator that companies can leverage to stand out. Instead of saying a product is "eco-friendly" or "sustainable", businesses can now quantify how sustainable it is, empowering consumers to make informed, conscious choices. Why Is This a Game Changer? Differentiation is harder than ever. Consumers demand more transparency. Regulations are tightening. Yet, sustainability remains an untapped competitive asset because companies lack the tools to translate impact into value. ZeroPact changes that. By providing a clear, standardized metric for sustainability, we are not just helping companies comply with regulations—we are giving them a new language of competitive advantage, one that transforms sustainability from a cost center into a driver of growth, brand loyalty, and market leadership. ZeroPact is not another label. It is the company that is making sustainability for Products tangible, measurable, and—most importantly—valuable for the first time.

Sankey Diagrams in Fashion LCA: A Visual Approach to Sustainability We’re all familiar with the concept of data-driven decision-making, especially in sustainability. But have you considered using Sankey Diagrams to visualize the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of fashion products? A Sankey diagram is more than just a chart—it's a visual representation of how resources, energy, or emissions flow through the stages of a product’s life cycle. This makes it an invaluable tool for fashion brands looking to understand their environmental impact in a more dynamic and actionable way. 💡 How can Sankey Diagrams help in LCA for fashion? ▶️ Material Sourcing: Visualize the flow of raw materials like organic cotton, recycled polyester, or synthetic fibers—highlighting their origins and the environmental impact at the sourcing stage. ▶️ Manufacturing Processes: Track energy usage, emissions, and waste generated during production, from fabric cutting to garment dyeing, revealing hotspots in the process. ▶️ Distribution & Transportation: Show the emissions linked to transporting products across long distances, from the factory to retail locations. ▶️ Use & Disposal: Represent the environmental impacts associated with the consumer use phase (water, energy, microplastics) and the end-of-life phase—whether it’s recycling, incineration, or landfill. 📊 Example: LCA of a pair of Vegan Shoes (Appleskin) 🍎💚 Using a Sankey diagram, we can map out the cotton production intensity, the energy consumption involved in manufacturing, and the logistics impact, for instance. This visualization helps highlight where the biggest environmental impacts are in the product’s life cycle, allowing brands to focus on areas for improvement. At ZeroPact, we provide you with the most comprehensive and insightful experience of your supply chain! 🚀 #DataVisualization #SankeyDiagrams #LCA #SustainableFashion #LifeCycleAssessment #Sustainability #CarbonFootprint

Every time we discard a piece of clothing, we contribute to a growing environmental crisis—fashion waste. The fashion industry produces a staggering 92 million tonnes of textile waste annually, with 87% ending up in landfills or incinerators. And the worst part is that less than 1% is recycled into new garments. 🌍 Why Is Fashion Waste a Problem? 🔹 Fast fashion promotes overproduction & disposable trends 🔹 Consumer habits encourage frequent purchases & discards 🔹 Manufacturing waste includes fabric scraps & defective items 🔹 Recycling gaps mean most textiles never get a second life What are the key takeaways? 📌 8.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from fashion 📌 35% of microplastic pollution in oceans comes from synthetic fibers 📌 20% of global water waste is linked to textile production 💡 How Can We Reduce Fashion Waste? ✅ Choose high-quality, durable clothing over fast fashion ✅ Support brands with closed-loop recycling & sustainable materials ✅ Extend garment life through repairing, repurposing & reselling ✅ Advocate for better recycling infrastructure & responsible production We all play a role in shaping a more sustainable fashion industry.

Starting off the week with logistics emissions 🚛 Did you know that around 20% of all online purchases are returned? We’re talking about an extra two-way trip of outbound logistics, including last-mile delivery 🤔 But how does this translate into Carbon emissions language? For instance, if we consider a pair of boots shipped over a distance of 2500km, from their main logistic centre to the user’s house, returning would involve around an extra 1kg of CO2e for the boots' environmental profile!!! 🫣 Simply put, the math is the following: 🚚 More returns = More transport emissions 💰 Retailers lose money = Less incentive to invest in sustainability ➡️ What are the solutions for this? ✅ AI-driven sizing tools to reduce wrong orders ✅ Incentives for responsible purchasing (e.g., discounts for non-returnable items) ✅ Improved reverse logistics for sustainable reselling & refurbishing In your opinion, are brands addressing this issue enough? #Sustainability #Ecommerce #CarbonEmissions #LCA #CarbonFootprint
