SCIRT’s True Cost Calculator

Created as part of the SCIRT project, The True Cost Calculator is a self-assessment tool, developed to empower fashion professionals in efficiently measuring, comparing, and minimizing the environmental and social impact of garments across their lifecycle. It builds upon and enhances existing frameworks for evaluating the environmental and social costs of textiles. One of the most important features of the True Cost Calculator is its integration of financial, environmental, and social dimensions, monetizing the external costs associated with the lifecycle of clothing.
