About Lab
Decarbonization Lab is a digital space for experiments, field tests and accumulation and sharing of knowledge in decarbonizing the textile and fashion supply chain.
This lab is the brainchild of more than 30 years of cumulative experience in the textile industry and working on different RECP projects resulting in deacarbonizing the industry, such as water saving activities in 50 factories, environmental performance improvement in 58 factories, cleaner production in 32 factories, process and production integrated BATs, and end-of-pipe BATs). The people of the lab came to the realization that there is a significant knowledge gap regarding the best available practices and a lack of opportunity to experiment and field test.
For the industry-ameliorating idea, Decarbonization Lab has been awarded as one of the top 10 winners in the prestigious Global Change Award 2025 on 20 May 2025 at Olde Bell, London, UK. The Global Change Award 2025, backed by the H&M Foundation, is often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of the fashion industry”, supporting bold, early-stage innovations with the power to decarbonize fashion. In this year’s campaign, a total of 476 ideas from 69 countries across 6 continents were submitted. The Expert Panel of the Global Change Award 2025 examined these ideas, vetting each finalist and advising on how to choose the Top 10 winners.
