WHAT IS REFSCALE





What is RefScale?



RefScale tracks the carbon and water footprint of our stuff.



We calculate how the impact of producing Ref products compares with most clothes
bought in the United States. We share RefScale results for each product we make
on our website and publish the totals in our Sustainability Report.


RefScale takes into consideration impacts from most processes in the product’s
life cycle. We publish our methodology so you can really dig in and understand
what we include in the calculations.







Q3 2022 footprint



Carbon dioxide (Metric tons)




Ref footprint: 24,871

Conventional footprint: 47,658

Savings: 22,787



Water (M gallons)




Ref footprint: 6,100

Conventional footprint: 10,329

Savings: 4,229




RefScale Verification


In 2022, we worked with third party consultants to review and verify our
methodology for our internal life cycle assessment tool, RefScale. See the
certification and learn more about the summary findings & verification here.

Why is RefScale important?

At Reformation we think about all the costs in creating fashion—not just the
price tag.



We share this information on every product page of our website and tell you what
impact each garment has on the environment, and how it reduces these impacts
compared to most clothes bought in the US. This way we all get to see the total
cost of fashion so you can make empowered choices. And we can keep creating
better solutions when it comes to making clothes, like how we source.




What impacts do we measure?

 CO2


Production emits carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which pollute our
atmosphere and contribute to climate change. Cotton, leather, and other raw
materials grown in industrial farms create huge energy footprints. Polyester,
nylon, and other petroleum-based fabrics emit harmful volatile organic compounds
and nitrous oxide - a greenhouse gas almost 300x more potent than CO2.



 Water


Manufacturing textiles is very water intensive. Processes like cultivating
crops, extracting and cleaning the fibers, spinning it into yarn and weaving
yarn into textiles require water. When reporting water footprints in the
production of our garments, we look at the potential of water deprivation by
considering both water consumption and scarcity/region.

Offsets

It’s not enough just to manufacture sustainably, so we also invest in programs
that replace some of the resources we’ve spent, which is where offsets come in.
Basically, in exchange for the resources used to make our clothes we partner
with different organizations to help put some of them back. You can also offset
your personal life by purchasing climate credits. Our offset partner will direct
your purchase to support projects that actively reduce CO2 emissions.
