“When you buy a sock, you buy a T-shirt, but also an iPhone, you take points of life in the planet”Repeat Yann Rivoallan. “We have produced things, we consumed things, we took energy and therefore we took points of life.”

The higher the figure, the greater the environmental impact. Yann Rivoallan is convinced of this, this measure “Change everything for the consumer”. The buyer will know his direct impact. “We will finally know, not only if a product is of quality for us, but also for the planet”Insists the president of the French Federation of Women’s ready-to-wear. According to him, the consumer aware of “Take points of life” will therefore be more tempted to invest in a quality garment.

For the moment, the display of the textile ecoscore is optional, based on volunteering.
