Cotton is the most important worldwide natural fiber in the textile sector, represents one of the economic basic products in more than 100 countries, roughly 150 countries import and export this raw material [7]. However, cotton has one of the most intensive crops in the world because it requires large amount of water, pesticides and fertilizers. It generates big impacts to the environment, principally to the Human Health, Ecosystemic Damage, and Resources Scarcity. This paper considers the impacts associated to the cotton cultivation and also to the cotton fabric production. To minimize the cotton fabric productive chain impacts is implemented, using Umberto NTC LCA software and ReCiPe methodology for a cradle to gate process from sources information. Resources availability is the most impacted category (127,84 points) for the large amounts of non-renewable resources used in the cotton fabric process and the least impact category is Ecosystem Quality (127,84 points). The difference is explained by the high amount of energy required for the machinery operation. A reduction of 53,01 impact points in all the LCA was possible with the improvements in the process.
