What you can't prove exposes you.
From 27 September 2026, the ECGT requires every claim to be specific and verifiable. Generic ones are banned; those you can't substantiate, exposed.

Three metrics, one engine
Calculate CO₂, water and energy per product and rank your collection by impact, with the same logic for every garment. You know what to reduce first.
The same engine rates your entire collection with the same logic.
Impact that's understood
Translate kg CO₂, litres and MJ into concepts your team and customers understand. With documented, verifiable factors.

Benchmark vs sector averages. What-if simulation for material decisions.
Sector benchmark
- Your product4.2 kg CO₂
- Sector average6.8 kg CO₂
- 25th percentile5.1 kg CO₂
Your product is in the sector's top 15%.
What-if simulation
- Conventional cotton4.2 kg
- Organic cotton2.8 kg
Switching to organic = −33% carbon footprint.
Beyond the sale: lifecycle events
Product traceability after the sale. Repair, Resale, Recycle as auditable events with measured impact.
Repair
· Certified repairExtends the product's useful life. Each repair is logged with date, type of intervention and provider.
Resale
· Traceable second lifeResale with full history. The new owner accesses the product's complete traceability.
Recycle
· Responsible end of cycleRecycling with traced destination. Records the channel, the processor and the percentage of material recovered.
Representative values. Actual metrics depend on each product and operation.

TraceWeave is not another LCA calculator. It's the data backbone that connects impact with traceability, compliance and communication.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this a certified LCA?
- Impact Engine is LCA-lite: a simplified calculation but with documented, traceable factors. For formal certification, we export data compatible with full LCA tools.
- What methodology do you use?
- Textile-specific emission factors, aligned with PEFCR. Each factor has a documented source (EEA, EPA, sector studies).
- How do I validate the impact data?
- Full traceability: every number has lineage back to the source data. You can audit internally or with independent third parties.
- Can I use this data for CSRD?
- Yes. Impact Engine outputs feed directly into the ESRS E1-E5 fields. Data already structured for reporting.
