The project “LCA analysis of the laundry care process and textile production” is the result of a scientific collaboration between the Chair of Sustainable Engineering at TU Berlin and the industry association Industrieverband Körperpflege- und Waschmittel e. V. (IKW). The aim of this joint research project is the life cycle-based ecological assessment of the use of commercially available heavy-duty detergents in Germany. For this purpose, an LCA is determined for the entire life cycle of a commercially available cotton T-shirt and the environmental impact of different types of laundry care during are studied.
