Stage 4. Consumer Use and Product Life Extension – Extending product lifespan: – Are jeans designed to be easily repairable (e.g., extra buttons, repair instructions)? – Are care instructions provided to optimize product lifespan? – Can customers return the product at the end of life for recycling or reuse? – Is conscious consumption promoted (e.g., communications on prolonging product use)? x Sustainability Score (1-5): – 4. Consumer Use and Product Life Extension: Scoring (1-5) / This section analyzes how the product’s lifespan is extended and promotes conscious consumption: – 1-2: No care instructions or options for repair or product return are provided. – 3: Care recommendations begin to be offered, and basic repair is promoted. – 4: The product is designed to be easily repairable, and return initiatives for recycling are promoted. – 5: The product’s durability is maximized with a repairable design, clear care instructions, and an active recycling program. Stage 5. End of Life Management – Managing product end of life: – Can the jeans be easily disassembled for recycling (e.g., separating buttons, zippers)? – Is the product designed for compostability or full recallability? – Are collection systems in place for reuse or recycling of jeans? – Are there programs to give the product a second life (reuse programs)?
