The carbon and water footprint data are taken from ADEME's Ecobalyse simulator(version 7.2.0). This latest version significantly increases the footprint of clothing. This change is linked to the switch to Agribalyse 3.2. With Agribalyse 3.1, there was a WTU patch that had been hard-coded into the EF3.1 method for a long time, and which originated from errors in Agribalyse 3.1. This WTU patch also modified the ecoinvent impacts.

Since we switched to Agribalyse 3.2, this WTU patch has been removed, and we've gone back to the original version of EF 3.1, resulting in the following changes:

• Ethiopia's electricity has decreased by 91
• brazil's electricity increased by 31
• peru's electricity has increased by 115
• organic cotton increased by 35
• flax has increased by 45
