Our Objective

We're on a mission to empower textile manufacturers with a scalable, efficient method for measuring, monitoring, and openly sharing the carbon footprint of their materials. This mission finds its heartbeat in Frontier.cool's AI platform, smartly aggregating carbon footprint data at the very core—material level.

 

Our Methodology

  • Data Collection: Imagine capturing the essence of fabric using a simple office flatbed scanner. That's what we do. Frontier.cool's AI then works its magic, identifying key material specifics like content, construction, and weight, straight from the manufacturer's source.

  • Data Analysis: Our platform goes beyond mere data capture. It intelligently classifies and maps the entire production journey, adhering to the stringent EU-approved PEF-CR standards. We also incorporate on-site data, covering everything from production specifics to machine efficiency.

  • Life-Cycle Analysis Model: Here's where it gets exciting. Using all gathered data, our platform performs an automated life-cycle analysis, offering a dual perspective on the carbon footprint—both a global average and a customized local view, enriched by real-world data.

 

Results in Action

Frontier.cool's Eco-impactor™ allows users to:

  • Generate global average-based estimations.
  • Derive localized footprints, contrasting regional nuances with hard data from manufacturing hubs.

This means manufacturers can not only estimate their carbon footprint but also track, record, and validate it, bolstering transparency and trust in their environmental declarations.

 

Applications for Tomorrow

Our approach empowers brands to make eco-conscious choices right from the design stage. They can evaluate materials based on sustainability metrics, balancing these against other factors like cost, composition, and sourcing. It's data-driven design for a greener tomorrow.

 

Addressing Challenges

Recognizing that most textile manufacturers are SMEs, we've designed our process to be straightforward and cost-effective. Frontier.cool's platform facilitates bulk data processing, simplifying carbon footprint calculations and enabling proactive emission estimations for better budgeting and forecasting.

 

Quantifiable Benefits

Switching to Frontier.cool translates to an 80% reduction in costs for carbon footprint analysis, previously averaging USD 10,000 per product. The time taken for supply chain carbon emission analysis has also been slashed, now ranging from minutes to weeks, depending on desired precision.

 

The Road Ahead: Embedding Sustainability in Every Stitch

As we collectively march towards a more sustainable future, the fashion industry stands at a crossroads, challenged not just to adapt but to lead. Our vision is clear: to transition from fleeting trends to lasting, environmentally conscious creations.

Technology and data are our tools, but the real change lies in the industry's resolve to evolve and redefine its core values. In every fabric, design, and garment lies a story of commitment to our planet, its people, and the future.

At the forefront of this sustainable revolution is Frontier.cool's platform, blending material supply chain wisdom with advanced AI. As it gains global traction, its influence on both producers and consumers in choosing low-impact options will be pivotal in the industry's quest for Net Zero by 2050.
