Abstract: Life cycle assessment (LCA) is increasingly used as a decision support system that enables the modelling, the evaluation and the comparison of different alternatives of products, processes or supply chains as regards their environmental and sustainable impacts. In the textile-garment domain, the complexity of the supply chain adds to the difficulty of the interpretation of the LCA results. The authors' purpose is to use multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) method in order to analyse the results of the life cycle assessment of textile products to help the different actors in the supply chain. Within this framework, the paper studies the choice of the most suitable multicriteria analysis method from the literature and shows its application in the textile supply chain.
