The mention of Climate Neutral certification for Reformation is a good start, but I want to see the actual carbon accounting methodology. There is a big difference between buying offsets and actually reducing Scope 3 emissions in the supply chain.
Exactly. Most of these brands talk about recycled polyester, but that is just a way to keep plastic in the loop. It does not solve the energy intensity of the actual manufacturing process.
Boden claims carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and 2. That is basically just their offices and warehouses. The real energy load is in the overseas factories. Do they have any data on the grid mix of their primary suppliers?
The circular model with Eileen Fisher is the only thing here that actually addresses the waste problem. Reselling and repurposing existing stock is far more efficient than producing new organic cotton.
