Reinventing the washtag

According the Handbook of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Textiles and Clothing 60% of the energy consumption in the life cycle of a garment happens during the use phase.

Through increased transparency and step-by-step guides, HELIOT EMIL wishes to prevent excess emissions by re-inventing the wash-tag and bringing necessary information to the customers.
