The fact that greenhouse gas emissions have greatly increased over the years with rapid industrialization and that carbon dioxide has the highest rate among these gases has revealed that carbon footprint is not a fashionable concept but a reality. Carbon footprint is the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions caused directly or indirectly by an activity or accumulated during the life cycle of a product, and this concept is used in many industries to determine carbon emissions. Logistics and transportation are among the sectors producing the most CO2 in the world. The aim of this study is to provide a conceptual framework for the structure, limits and development trend of the carbon footprint in logistics and transportation through a comprehensive and systematic literature review. Systematic literature studies are carried out by considering one or more databases, and in this study, articles in the Web of Science (WoS) database are used. Within the scope of the study, 373 articles were reached as a result of the first search from the WoS database, and as a result of the examination of the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this study, title, abstract and keywords, 24 studies were included in the sample. As a result of the studies examined, the subject of logistics and transportation carbon footprint has been studied since 2010, most of the studies have been published in developed countries, quantitative methods are preferred more in studies and mainly trying to calculate the carbon footprint by developing case studies, models or methods, since the subject is new and its costs are relatively high, the application part of the carbon footprint could not be fully formed in the sector, there is a limited number of studies on the carbon footprint of international logistics and transportation and the carbon footprint of sustainable logistics and transportation in developing countries, it has been found that there are no studies examining the social effects of logistics and transportation carbon footprints. This study will systematically give an idea about the current knowledge and findings produced in the research field and serve as a guide for future research.

Dyes play an important role in textile production, but their contribution to air pollution and harming human health have raised concerns and remain an international problem. The key to overcoming this challenge is to assess how much greenhouse gases are being generated and the hotspots which guide decision-making process toward more sustainable options. This article established a carbon footprint calculation method for disperse dyes. First, the system boundary description and the functional unit were discussed. Second, the carbon footprint inventory analysis was determined. What’s more, the calculation method, allocation method and emission factors were proposed. It was intended to be practical and effective based on three typical disperse dyes in China. The results showed that the carbon footprints of Disperse Blue 79, Disperse Red 167, and Disperse Orange 61 corresponded to 8.28 t CO2 eq/t, 8.07 t CO2 eq/t, and 7.48 t CO2 eq/t, respectively. For the three disperse dyes, the carbon emissions of dispersing agent melamine-formaldehyde resin and liquid ammonia consumption were the dominant emission sources. The steam and electricity were the two major sources of carbon emissions caused by energy usage. The homogenization and the wastewater treatment process were the two largest emission emitters. The sensitivity analysis showed that the total product carbon footprint was mostly sensitive to dispersing agent melamine-formaldehyde resin changes, followed by steam, liquid ammonia, and electricity. The results show that disperse dye production have great potential for improvement. The reduction options for the emissions of the disperse dyes production can be concluded by the optimization of the production process and technology for dispersing agent melamine-formaldehyde resin, liquid ammonia, electricity, and steam. Through the calculation, the influencing factors for the carbon footprint can be analyzed and highlighted. The method provides a comprehensive understanding of environmental impacts with dyes, driving the adoption of sustainable dyeing practices.

“…It emerged in the UK and developed rapidly under the promotion of academia, non-governmental organizations, and the news media. By now, researchers, as well as some textile and apparel companies have calculated the carbon footprint of several textile and apparel products, such as polyester fabric [6], cotton fabric [7,8], hemp [9], flax [10], wool [11,12], nylon textile [13], etc. A couple of studies on the carbon footprint in the manufacture of silk products could also be found in the existing literature.…”

Silk is a distinctive and significant category of natural structural protein fiber. With a remarkable structure and versatility, silk has emerged as a topic of scientific study perennially because of its chemical, physical and biological properties. Meanwhile, in order to have an omnifaceted understanding of silk, the environmental performance of silk production is also worthy of attention. With the concern of global warming, efforts are increasingly focused on understanding and addressing carbon emission in the life cycle of silk products. However, the majority of current studies give priority to the carbon emission of either just one or a few stages of silk products’ life cycle, or to a specific type of silk product. On the basis of a review of literature on the life cycle assessment of silk products, this study presents a full-scale review of the quantification of the carbon emission and carbon neutrality of cocoon acquisition, industrial production of silk products, distribution, consumption, and recycling. The analysis revealed that the carbon sequestration by photosynthesis at the stage of cocoon acquisition could not be ignored. It is of importance to establish complete and unified system boundaries when quantifying carbon emissions in the industrial production of silk products. Reasonable models of washing times and washing modes are needed to assess carbon emissions in the domestic laundry of silk products. At the end of life phase of silk products, the positive impact on carbon emission in the phase of silk recycling is noteworthy. This study will help interested scholars, manufacturers and consumers to gain an in-depth understanding of the carbon emissions and carbon neutrality of silk products, and it is also of great value for exploring new production processes for reducing carbon emissions of silk products.
