To produce and handle all clothing, footwear and household textiles purchased by EU-27 households in 2020, an estimated 121 million tonnes of CO₂ were emitted (270 kg CO₂ equivalent per person), making this consumption domain the fifth highest impact category after housing, food, transport and recreation. Only 27% of CO₂ emissions take place within Europe.
