Sustainability is not in vain. Pricing of sustainable textiles in procurement by large consumers

Since the current data situation is more than incomplete, the study ‘Sustainability is not in vain’ seeks to identify the relevant factors for pricing or differences in the pricing of conventional textiles compared to sustainable textiles by incorporating the expertise of the various actors (manufacturers, suppliers, textile service companies, buyers, purchasing associations, associations, experts). It differentiates between manufacturer prices, dealer prices, offer prices and care prices, deals with rental and purchase models and illustrates the impact of sustainability standards on the price of textiles using concrete case studies for workwear and flat linen. In addition, the study also covers initial approaches to integrating life cycle costs into the supply of workwear and flat linen.

Rounded off by recommendations that differentiate between different stakeholder groups (politics, large consumers, suppliers) and a comprehensive service section, the study is a helpful read for all those involved in textile procurement, including beginners.
