TÜV SÜD assessed the carbon footprint of UPW's five dyed yarn products in accordance with ISO14067:2018. The greenhouse gas emissions of these five products across the entire product life cycle were assessed and quantified, which cover resource extraction, raw material procurement, production, sales, distribution, transportation, auxiliary materials for production and waste disposal. TÜV SÜD confirmed that the products fully passed the assessment and issued a product carbon footprint label. This not only confirms UPW's efforts to respond to climate change, but also demonstrates its determination to drive really sustainable changes in the textile industry.
