Climate change is affecting all citizens on Earth; the bra
manufacture sector should understand the problems and help
reduce the impacts of climate change from the bra manufacturing.
What is the carbon footprint of a bra and the opportunities to
reduce its GHG emissions? Bra production mapping is aimed to
find out the answers and initiate sustainable thinking and
practice in bra design and manufacturing in China and Hong Kong.
The objectives are to account and report the carbon footprint of
a bra. This helps the bra-manufacturing sector to incorporate
sustainable thinking into the decision making for suppliers,
materials, product design and manufacturing processes, to take
interesting challenges in adopting a low-carbon approach. The
study may serve as a learning source for the participants along
the life cycle of a bra. A padded moulded bra, the best selling
product of a Chinese bra manufacturing company (unnamed), was
selected for the calculation of the carbon footprint. The
project examined the life cycle
