Abstract
In this dissertation referring the properties of Uniform, first, we mentioned the intention of Working on carbon foot print. Next, we described that we faced three problems for which is settled on Product Category Rule (PCR) of the carbon foot print First, concerned how we put together high complex material of fibrous raw at procurement stage. Second,concerned such as washing at the use maintenance management stage changed by the material or individual judgment. Third, concerned how is set up boundary at the stage for abandonment and the recycling when recycle used products. Each problem and the action are described. Next, we introduce the example, product operated as a case study. The calculation object is a women’s Jacket and its unit weight is 386.2g, packing/wrapping material is 181g, outer material is Polyester 100%. CO2 exhaust amount for this product was 12.4kg- CO2 in the entire life cycle and we found out that 70% of CO2 was exhausted at the raw material procurement stage. Finally we described the matter of future actualized through the decision of PCR and the operation case study.
