Though no data are available for the specific waste flows for this process their contribution to the environmental impact of this process can be assumed as low. Water losses due to evaporation are not recorded.7The data set represents the country / region specific situation, focusing on the main technologies, the region specific characteristics and / or import statistics.To protect the yarn during weaving, sizing agents are applied to it. Before dyeing these sizing agents have to be removed from the fabric to make the fibre more hydrophilic and to allow the diffusion of the dye into the fibre. The used desizing technique depends on the kind of applied sizing agent. For starch-based sizes the enzymatic desizing is the mostly used method. Oxidative desizing combines desizing with cold bleaching. Water-soluble sizes can be removed by washing with hot water and soda as it is done in the analyzed process. Auxiliaries like surfactants increase the efficiency of the desizing process. The machine used for the analyzed process is an overflow. In this kind of machine the fabric is transported in a very gentle way by the gravitational force of the liquor overflow.Provision of a standard technical product according to the applied technology.f316d6f2-9008-11db-b606-0800200c9a66_Textile_Desizing in overflow.jpgUnit process, single operationAttributionalNoneNot applicableFor details please see the document "GaBi Databases Modelling Principles"All data used in the calculation of the LCI results refer to net calorific value.NoneCut-off rules for each unit process: Coverage of at least 95 % of mass and energy of the input and output flows, and 98 % of their environmental relevance (according to expert judgement).

It can be used to characterise related processes in LCAs. The modelling includes the process in itself. The supply of energy and raw material has to be combined specifically for each location. Process can be used for: polyester fabric.No statementThe LCI method applied is in compliance with ISO 14040 and 14044. The documentation includes all relevant information in view of the data quality and scope of the application of the respective LCI result / data set. The dataset represents the state-of-the-art in view of the referenced functional unit.thinkstepIABP-GaBiIBP-GaBiThe dataset and systems, which are provided with our software and databases for public use into a broad user community, are constantly used, compared, benchmarked, screened, reviewed and results published in various external, professional and third party LCA applications in industry, academia and politics. So user feedback via the online GaBi forum or direct via user information is a standard routine in the maintenance and update process and leads to stable quality and constant control and improvement of data, if knowledge or technology improves or industrial process chains develop or change.GaBi user forumGaBi bug forumGaBi user communityGaBi conformity systemFully compliantFully compliantFully compliantFully compliantFully compliantNot definedUNEP SETAC Life Cycle InitiativeNot definedNot definedNot definedNot definedNot definedNot definedILCD Data Network - Entry-levelNot definedNot definedFully compliantNot definedNot definedNot definedthinkstepThe data set represents a cradle to gate inventory. It can be used to characterise the supply chain situation of the respective commodity in a representative manner. Combination with individual unit processes using this commodity enables the generation of user-specific (product) LCAs. The data set does not necessarily fit for any possible specific supply situation - especially if significantly different technology routes exist - but is representative for a common supply chain situation.thinkstep2018-02-01T00:00:00.000ILCD format 1.1thinkstepNo official approval by producer or operator2018-02-01T00:00:00.00000.00.001Data set finalised; entirely publishedGaBi databasesthinkstep / ENEAtrueOtherGaBi (source code, database including extension modules and single data sets, documentation) remains property of thinkstep AG. thinkstep AG delivers GaBi licenses comprising data storage medium and manual as ordered by the customer.
