NormaTrack Life Cycle Assessment
LCA for
fashion brands,
automated at
catalog scale
Calculate carbon footprint, water use, and the EU ESPR environmental indicators automatically — per SKU, per variant, straight into your Digital Product Passports.

Why it matters
What a fashion LCA
actually measures.
A Life Cycle Assessment maps the environmental impact of a product across every stage of its production — from raw material to finished good. For fashion brands, this is where Scope 3 emissions live.
Fiber production is where most emissions originate.
Cotton farming, synthetic fiber manufacturing, and wool processing each carry very different footprints. LCA makes this visible and measurable per material input — so you know exactly what each fiber choice costs the environment.
Every processing step adds to the footprint.
Spinning, dyeing, finishing, and cut & sew each add to the product's environmental load. The country where processing happens matters — energy mixes differ significantly between regions, and LCA captures that difference.
Scope 3 emissions most brands cannot report.
Distance, mode of transport, and the number of handoffs between supplier and warehouse all factor into the footprint. LCA captures these Scope 3 emissions — invisible in your own operations, but real in your supply chain.
The compliance bridge
ESPR is heading toward
this data inside every DPP.
The EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (adopted, in force since 2024) establishes the framework for embedding structured environmental data in Digital Product Passports. The specific data points required for textiles are set by a dedicated delegated act — still pending, with adoption planned for Q4 2027 and company compliance realistically following in 2028–2029. NormaTrack calculates and structures LCA data now, so you're ready whenever that act applies to your products.
01
Carbon footprint per product
The EU ESPR framework is built around disclosing a quantified environmental footprint — carbon is expected to be the primary indicator for textiles once the sector-specific delegated act is adopted. NormaTrack calculates it today, aligned with ISO 14040/14044 and the EU PEF methodology, so you're not starting from zero when it applies.
02
Water and resource use
Water consumption across fiber production and dyeing is a likely candidate for product-level disclosure under the forthcoming textiles delegated act. NormaTrack computes water use alongside carbon in the same calculation run — no separate study, no external consultants.
03
Machine-readable format
ESPR's adopted framework already requires DPP data to be structured and accessible via the passport's data carrier, not a static PDF. NormaTrack stores every result as structured, exportable data — ready for the DPP, CSRD disclosures, and buyer questionnaires.
04
Straight into your passport
NormaTrack connects both sides: calculate LCA automatically, then publish the results directly into your Digital Product Passport — no manual data transfer, no export/import loop, no copies drifting out of sync.
See what goes into a DPPHow it works
Three steps from raw data
to calculated footprint.
No external consultants. No manual data exports. The calculation runs inside the platform, on the data you already manage.
Map your materials and production stages
Enter material composition per product or variant — fiber type, weight, percentage. Attach suppliers and countries for each processing step. NormaTrack maps each input to validated emission factors automatically.
The engine calculates impact per SKU
NormaTrack runs the calculation across your catalog — applying region-specific emission factors for energy, water, and transport at each stage. Carbon footprint, water consumption, and key EU PEF indicators are computed per variant, not just per product family.
See what's driving your footprint — and act on it
Interactive dashboards break down environmental impact by product, material, and variant. Track carbon trends over time, spot your highest-impact SKUs, and export everything for stakeholder reporting or buyer due diligence.
