Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
To date, the terminology regarding environmental aspects used in the textile industry has not been
standardized, causing confusion, ineffectiveness and worst case hindering sustainable practices in
the textile sector. The global nature of the textile industry highlights the need for global as well as
national standards, enabling a common understanding and facilitate trade. A common vocabulary may
serve to reduce the risk of greenwashing, bringing value for actors aiming to be transparent as well as
facilitating the development of trust among consumers.
This document contains definitions of terms widely used in the textile value chain in reference to
environmental aspects. ISO Guide 82 Guidelines for addressing sustainability in standards has been taken
into consideration when addressing sustainability in this document.
Some definitions related to circular economy are included in this document, referencing
ISO 59004 Circular Economy – Terminology, principles and framework for implementation currently being
developed in ISO/TC 323 Circular economy. In the case ISO 59004 has not yet reached the DIS stage
when this document reaches the publication stage, it cannot be used as reference, meaning all terms
referencing ISO 59004 need to be removed. In that case, the ambition is to propose a minor revision of
ISO 5157 as soon as ISO 59004 has been published, to include the accepted terms and definitions.
The list of terms is wide but not exhaustive.

Textiles — Environmental aspects — Vocabulary
1 Scope
This document provides general terms and definitions used in the textile value chain related to
environmental aspects including design, production, retail, use and reuse, recycling processes and
disposal.
This document is applicable to all stakeholders in the textile value chain regardless of size and location.
Stakeholders will benefit from a common terminology for addressing issues related to environmental
aspects of textile products and processes.
The aim of this document is to enable future standardization work related to environmental
sustainability in the textile value chain, taking into account the aspects and definitions provided in
ISO Guide 82. Definitions are as far as possible adapted from existing standards but when the intention
or definition is unclear additional context or definitions are updated or added.
2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.
3 Terms and definitions
