Cotton fiber, organic

The data set covers in a representative way all relevant process steps / technologies over the supply chain of organic cotton with a good overall data quality. The results of this study can be applied as a reference value for organic cotton production worldwide and shall be used with confidence in any further LCA studies e.g. along the value chain of the apparel industry. It should, however be noted that there is the need for consideration of modelling approaches that can affect the outcomes significantly, illustrated by different scenarios provided in the full LCA report. Absolute numbers should therefore always be interpreted with care and not be used as stand-alone indicators for simplified statements or unfounded decision making. It is strongly recommended to consider the full LCA Report (see LCA methodology report/ data handeling report) when using this dataset.
