Sustainable Fashion: A Comparative Analysis of Modal and Cotton Fabrics' Environmental Impact
Research Paper Discussing the Analysis of Modal vs. Cotton as it Relates to Sustainably and the Environment. Abstract : In the era of escalating environmental consciousness, we investigate the environmental impact of modal fabric, a textile synthesized from renewable beech tree pulp, in comparison to traditional cotton in men's underwear production. This research provides an exhaustive comparative analysis of modal and cotton's lifecycle, revealing valuable insights into their sustainability profiles. **Introduction** The global textile industry faces significant environmental challenges due to resource-intensive manufacturing processes and the widespread use of non-renewable synthetic fibers. In light of these challenges, we focus on modal fabric, a semi-synthetic textile offering a promising alternative to traditional cotton. **Methodology** The study employs a lifecycle assessment (LCA) methodology, encompassing all stages of modal's and cotton's production processes...
