At Subset, we’re committed to sustainable fashion that’s truly transparent. That’s why we partnered with Green Story to conduct a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)—a scientific way to measure the environmental impact of our products from start to finish.
What is a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)?
An LCA tracks the environmental footprint of a product, from raw materials to manufacturing, transportation, and disposal. It helps measure key factors like:
- Carbon footprint (CO₂ emissions throughout the product’s life)
- Water usage (including how much drinking water is saved)
- Land impact (how much land is spared from toxic pesticides and fertilizers)
How Green Story Measures Subset’s Impact
To assess the sustainability of Subset products, Green Story analyzed our:
- Certified organic cotton sourcing (where and how it’s grown)
- Ethical manufacturing (where our Undies and Bralettes are made)
- Supply chain & transportation (how our products move from farm to factory to you)
With all this data, Green Story calculated the total savings in carbon emissions, water, and waste for each product—giving you real, tangible impact numbers for every Subset piece.
See Your Impact When You Shop
We believe you deserve full transparency, so every Subset Underwear and Bralette includes an Impact section on its product page. Here, you’ll see exactly how much your purchase:
♻ Reduces CO₂ emissions compared to conventional fashion
💧 Saves drinking water
🚯 Avoids harmful chemicals in production
What’s Next?
While we can’t track what happens to your Sets once they arrive at your door, we encourage sustainable care:
- Wash in cold water
- Hang dry instead of using a dryer
- Recycle with Subset when your pieces reach the end of their life
By choosing Subset’s non-toxic, organic cotton intimates, you’re actively reducing the impact of your wardrobe and supporting a cleaner fashion industry.
