Down has been known as a representative eco-friendly material for clothing. It is produced as a byproduct of the food industry, undergoes a minimum physical processing for cleaning and separation, and it is highly durable. Also, this natural material is much more eco-friendly than synthetic insulation as it is biodegradable after use.
The International Down and Feather Bureau (IDFB) has commissioned a third-party agency to conduct a full comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) on down fill material to find the scientific basis for its eco-friendliness.
*Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): An active and objective analytical tool to quantify and interpret the impacts as a result of flows to and from the environment including emissions and consumption of energy and other material resources over the entire life cycle of a product or service including materials, processing, production, transportation, distribution, use and reuse, and disposal treatment. Hence, LCA provides a comprehensive view on the environmental aspects of the product or process and explores ways to improve the environment.
