Carbonfact is the only Carbon Management Platform tailored to the needs of the textile and fashion industry. Our platform automates life-cycle assessment at the product level enabling brands to get a high resolution on their Scope 3 emissions and model out product-level change on the company’s broader environmental trajectory.
