Definitions

  • the invention relates to methods and computer-implemented systems for minimizing and quantifying emissions in the manufacture of products, in particular textile products.
  • the finished textile products are manufactured via a multitude of intermediate steps and delivered to the end user via the usual trade routes.
  • emissions occur which can endanger or negatively affect humans, animals and the environment, in particular air, soil and water, as well as the climate.

  • the participating workers 1 .4 can also be directly endangered by the substances used.
  • the necessary energy requirements, for example for transport, are also covered by fossil fuels, which leads to the emission of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.
  • the fiber products 2 are processed via various intermediate stages (for example spinning, weaving, etc.) into yarn and subsequently to textile surfaces (fabric). Even with these steps, emissions are released and energy is consumed.
  • the textile surface products are finished, that is, they are treated and modified by various methods to achieve the desired properties.
  • the fabrics are colored, antistatic, flame-retardant, dirt-repellent, or crease-poor equipped, preshrunk, etc. This is done via a variety of methods known in the art, in which case chemical compounds are required, in turn, from an external supplier 1 .3 come.
  • the textile surface products are processed into the actual textiles, ie garments, industrial textiles, upholstery fabrics, etc. Subsequently the transport takes place via the logistics and trade chain 1 .1 2 to the end user 1 .1 3, who finally wears the textiles.
  • the remaining on the textiles chemical compounds can in turn burden the carrier 1 .1 3. For example, certain substances can trigger skin allergies, and heavy metals can be incorporated through the skin.
  • the appropriate professionals are aware of a variety of ways for the various individual intermediate steps to avoid emissions or to minimize their quantity or their negative effect.
  • the use of pesticides can be reduced to a minimum, and health and safety regulations can be applied to workers, etc.
  • water and air pollution and job safety can be reduced with appropriate protection measures.

Abstract

Dans un procédé et un système implémenté par ordinateur pour détecter et quantifier les émissions (3, 3', 3'') lors de la fabrication de produits textiles, un code d'identification (21) est affecté à un produit intermédiaire ou un produit semi-fini (2). Des données relatives au produit (2) et aux émissions (3') et/ou émissions potentielles (3'') produites en lien avec la fabrication sont saisies. Pour la détermination d'au moins une valeur caractéristique (32) décrivant les émissions mentionnées (3, 3', 3''), on détermine un protocole d'évaluation (4). A l'aide des données saisies (31), on détermine la valeur caractéristique (32) selon le protocole d'évaluation (4). Un ensemble de données (51) comprenant le code d'identification (21) et la ou les valeurs caractéristiques (32) déterminées est ensuite enregistré dans une base de données (5).
