Why choose bAwear-score?

Sustainability metrics made easy

Sustainability calculation and reporting takes time, resources and expertise. bAwear-score combines the expertise of sustainability experts with the powerful SimaPro LCA software to allow you to independently calculate and report on the footprint of your textile products. The intuitive interface makes the tool simple to navigate – no LCA expertise required.

Transparency for the textile supply chain

The textile supply chain is under increasing scrutiny as customers become ever more aware of the environmental impact associated with textiles and clothing production. Moreover, textile companies need to conform to an increasing number of EU and national regulations. bAwear-score brings transparency to complex supply chains by providing insights on three crucial environmental indicators: carbon emissions, energy use and water use.

Cost-effective, reliable solution

bAwear-score is more cost-effective than a traditional LCA study, without undermining the reliability of the results. The SimaPro API connects bAwear-score to the SimaPro calculation engine and ensures robust and trustworthy results displayed directly in the app.
