Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction

To date, the terminology regarding environmental aspects used in the textile industry has not been

standardized, causing confusion, ineffectiveness and worst case hindering sustainable practices in

the textile sector. The global nature of the textile industry highlights the need for global as well as

national standards, enabling a common understanding and facilitate trade. A common vocabulary may

serve to reduce the risk of greenwashing, bringing value for actors aiming to be transparent as well as

facilitating the development of trust among consumers.

This document contains definitions of terms widely used in the textile value chain in reference to

environmental aspects. ISO Guide 82 Guidelines for addressing sustainability in standards has been taken

into consideration when addressing sustainability in this document.

Some definitions related to circular economy are included in this document, referencing

ISO 59004 Circular Economy – Terminology, principles and framework for implementation currently being

developed in ISO/TC 323 Circular economy. In the case ISO 59004 has not yet reached the DIS stage

when this document reaches the publication stage, it cannot be used as reference, meaning all terms

referencing ISO 59004 need to be removed. In that case, the ambition is to propose a minor revision of

ISO 5157 as soon as ISO 59004 has been published, to include the accepted terms and definitions.

The list of terms is wide but not exhaustive.

Textiles — Environmental aspects — Vocabulary
1 Scope

This document provides general terms and definitions used in the textile value chain related to

environmental aspects including design, production, retail, use and reuse, recycling processes and

disposal.

This document is applicable to all stakeholders in the textile value chain regardless of size and location.

Stakeholders will benefit from a common terminology for addressing issues related to environmental

aspects of textile products and processes.

The aim of this document is to enable future standardization work related to environmental

sustainability in the textile value chain, taking into account the aspects and definitions provided in

ISO Guide 82. Definitions are as far as possible adapted from existing standards but when the intention

or definition is unclear additional context or definitions are updated or added.
2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
