Energy consumption associated with the production and distribution of jeans in the UK Stephen Anderson University of Westminster COST 355 – Namur 1-3 Dec 2004
Objectives of the project • Energy study of jeans supply chain • French and UK comparison • Energy consumed in producing and supplying jeans • CO2 emitted in producing and supplying jeans • INRETS and Westminster each carrying out data collection and energy calculation with common approach COST 355 – Namur 1-3 Dec 2004
Jean supply chain The production and distribution of jeans can be broken down into seven main operations: • Cotton farming • Spinning and dyeing • Fabric manufacture • Garment manufacture • Import of goods • Regional distribution • Retail outlet COST 355 – Namur 1-3 Dec 2004
Cotton Planting Crop care Harvesting Ginning Transport Spinning yarn Finishing Transport Weaving fabric Transport Dyeing Transport Sewing garment Transport Finishing Transport Transport Entry port Transport Distribution centre Transport Storage Transport Processes & transport in the production & distribution of jeans Cotton Cultivation Spinning and dyeing Fabric manufacture Garment manufacture Import of goods Retail outlet Transport Final consumer COST 355 – Namur 1-3 Dec 2004
Garment manufacturing Pattern cutting Transport Transport Sewing Transport Special finishing Transport Washing Processes are not necessarily carried out locally – transport might be required and could be long distance Final finishing COST 355 – Namur 1-3 Dec 2004
French and UK case studies • UK supply chain • Cotton from Turkey and USA • Denim made in turkey • Jeans made in Morocco • French supply chain • Cotton from Uzbekistan and India • Denim made in India • Jeans made in Bangladesh COST 355 – Namur 1-3 Dec 2004

Transport energy from field to shop COST 355 – Namur 1-3 Dec 2004
Transport energy from field to home COST 355 – Namur 1-3 Dec 2004
Transport from shop to home COST 355 – Namur 1-3 Dec 2004
Issues related to non-transport data • Energy data for: • Cotton production • Fabric production • Garment make-up • Other items used (zips, buttons, etc.) • Type of energy used in each activity • Generation and use of electricity in different countries (for CO2) COST 355 – Namur 1-3 Dec 2004
Issues related to transport data • Movement of product upstream of garment makeup more difficult to obtain (i.e. cotton fibre transport, denim transport) • Empty running and average lading factor • Vehicle energy use - not practical to obtain from companies • Final consumer transport – average distance travelled, quantity purchased (kgs), empty running COST 355 – Namur 1-3 Dec 2004
Summary of results to date • Transport is not a major contributor to energy use or CO2 in a basic jeans supply chain • Most commercial transport energy used between jeans make-up and supply to domestic market • Consumer transport energy can be greater than total commercial transport energy • Logistics (transport & stockholding) accounts for about 25% of total supply chain energy use COST 355 – Namur 1-3 Dec 2004
