ABOUT ORTAFounded in 1953, ORTA transformed from a spinning & weaving company to a denim manufacturer in 1985. Today, ORTA produces over 60 million meters of denim in its Kayseri (Turkey) and Bahrain factories and is creating a platform for leading manufacturers to step up and reclaim a denim industry where more aesthetics leads to more ethics.
ORTA aims to create a more robust denim ecosystem where ART (DESIGN) MEETS TECHNOLOGY MEETS SUSTAINABILITY for new infinite possibilities of denim today and tomorrow.
While our footprint is what we take from the planet when we consume, our handprint is what we give the planet when we create change for the better.
In an era of change, ORTA’s handprint will promote denim manufacturing at the intersection of where people, planet and purpose matter.
Transparency, commitment and trustworthiness are the key elements of ORTA’s philosophy.
Aiming to be a leading denim producer pursuing sustainable lifestyles and production, ORTA pioneered a sustainable journey in the beginning of 2000s and founded its sustainability division ORTA BLU in 2010 which is creating a platform for leading manufacturers to step up and reclaim a denim industry where more ethics lead to more aesthetics.
ORTA is a Council Member of BCI since 2011 and began to use Better Cotton in 2012. 20% of all ORTA cotton consumption is Better Cotton. ORTA is also proud to be a founder and supporter of IPUD (The Good Cotton Practices Association of Turkey). BCI signed a partnership agreement with IPUD in 2014, who is responsible for implementing Better Cotton in Turkey.
ORTA manages its operations through managing systems; ISO 9001:2008, BS OHSAS 18001:2014, ISO 14001:2004, ISO 50001:2013, ISO 27001:2013 and ISO 10002:2014, and holds Fairtrade, Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Global Recycled Standard (GRS), Organic Content Standard (OCS) and OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certificates.

No substances included in the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for authorisation under the REACH Regulations are present in the declared denim products manufactured by ORTA, either above the threshold for registration with the European Chemicals Agency or above 0.1% (wt/wt).
Denim is a durable cotton twill textile, typically used to make jeans, overalls and other garments. Denim products are mainly manufactured from cotton fibres but can also contain man-made fibres. Cotton and other man-made cellulosic or synthetic fibres mixed together and then go through spinning processes to form yarns called warp and weft yarns. Usually weft yarns are used with their natural colours, and warp yarns are dyed and goes through sizing process to strengthen the fibres before weaving process. Weft and warp yarns are then weaved to form basic denim. The basic denim goes through finishing processes to enhance its properties or create new colours and effect. The final product is then packaged to be sold.
INDIGO FLOW
Indigo Flow (IF) is a warp dyeing method developed by ORTA, in which cleaner and better dye penetration and up to 70% water saving is achieved compared to conventional dyeing.
TECHNOLOGY + SUSTAINABILITY is in every fabric
Denim articles declared in this EPD are alternatives to each other with following specifications: Luzon is a conventional cotton containing denim, with a conventional warp dyeing process. Ilocos contains organic cotton and goes through same conventional warp dyeing process as Luzon. Visayas is Indigo Flow version of Ilocos. And Bicol is recycled version of Visayas and it contains 20wt% pre-consumer recycled cotton and goes through the same warp dyeing process, Indigo Flow.

SYSTEM BOUNDARYUpstream Process
Denim production starts with raw material supply, mainly locally sourced but some transported from other parts of the world. Raw materials supply includes the manufacturing of chemicals, man made fibers, packaging materials and cultivation of natural fibres.
Core Process
The core processes includes transport of raw materials to the manufacturing plant, manufacturing processes and impacts generated by fuel burned in the core process, impacts due to the production of electricity and fuels used in the core processes.
Denim manufacturing includes fibre mixing, spinning, dyeing, sizing, weaving and finishing processes. After quality control checks, the end products are packaged to be sold. During manufacturing, electricity, natural gas and steam are consumed.
Downstream Processes
As downstream processes, transportation of finished and packaged products to an average customer is taken as 1000 km transport by lorry.
The declared products are denim fabrics that are sold to be cut and sewn into all types of garments and then meet with the end user. As declared products are semi-finished goods, and sold worldwide, it would not be feasible to construct a downstream scenario for the current study. Therefore, apparel manufacturing (cutting and sewing), product use (washing) and end-of-life phases (landfill, recycle etc.) are not evaluated in the current LCA study.
ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE RELATED INFORMATIONFunctional Unit/Declared Unit
The declared unit is the production of 1 m2 denim.
Goal & Scope This EPD evaluates the environmental impacts of 1 m2 of product from cradle to gate with delivery to customer option.
System Boundary
The system boundary covers upstream processes, core processes and downstream processes (product delivery to a customer).
Estimates and Assumptions
In this EPD, the use and the end of life phases of the declared products are not taken into system boundary. Therefore; no scenario related to use and the end of life phases of products were constructed. To give an idea about the environmental burdens originated from product delivery to an average customer, a transportation scenario was included in the system boundary as 1000km transport by lorry.
As the impacts originated from treatment of waste generated during manufacturing are determined to be lower than 1%, the environmental burdens originated from treatment of waste generated during manufacturing are not taken into account in the assessment.
Cut-Off Rules No cut-off criteria was applied for the material and energy input in LCA study. 1% cut-off was applied for the treatment of waste generated during manufacturing.
Background Data & Data Quality
Product specific primary data; raw materials, energy and water consumption and waste data are collected from from ORTA Kayseri plant located in Turkey for 2017. Ecoinvent V3.4 database was used for secondary data: raw material and packaging production, Turkey specific electricity and natural gas mix. Organic cotton cultivation was modelled according to LCA of organic cotton - A global average by Textile Exchange (2014) and Cotton Research Institute in Turkey. Pre-consumer recycled organic cotton manufacturing was modelled from industry data. All primary and secondary data are less than 10 years old.
Period Under Review
All primary data collected from ORTA is for the period year of 2017.
Allocations The amount of output flows and waste categories were allocated to an average 1 m2 denim manufactured by ORTA in 2017.
The background LCA study was modelled with SimaPro 8.5 LCA software using the impact factors and the Ecoinvent database for secondary data.
The results of the LCA with the indicators as per EPD requirement are given in the following tables for upstream, core and downstream processes as defined in the system boundary.
All resource use values are obtained using Cumulative Energy Demand (V1.10, November 2017) methodology, potential environmental impacts are obtained using CML-IA baseline (V3.05, November 2017), CML-IA non-baseline (V3.05, November 2017), ReCiPe 2016 Midpoint (H) (V1.01, November 2017), IPCC 2013 GWP 100a (V1.03, October 2016), USEtox2 (recommended + interim) (V1.0, July 2016) and Pfister et al (2006) (V1.02, august 2014) methodologies within SimaPro LCA software. Output flows and waste values are obtained from manufacturing inventory data and net fresh water use is obtained from life cycle inventory data.

GLOSSARYLife Cycle Assessment (LCA)
LCA is a tool used to quantify the environmental performance of a product or service taking the complete life cycle into account (from raw material production to final disposal) defined by ISO 14040/44 standards.
Enivronmental Product Declaration (EPD)
An EPD is an independently verified and registered document that communicates transparent and comparable information about the life-cycle environmental impact of products. The relevant standard for EPDs is ISO 14025, where they are referred to as “type III environmental declarations”.
Global Warming Potential Global warming is the result of the release of greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere. GHGs are released primarily from combustion of fossil fuels. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to a wide diversity of effects, including sea level rise and acidification, extreme weather events and ultimately effects such as losses of species and ecosystems.
Ozone Depletion Potential
Ozone depletion is the decrease in the layer of ozone in the stratosphere. This very thin layer offers protection of the Earth from UV radiation. Halogenated chemicals react in the atmosphere to decrease the ozone. These chemicals are primarily refrigerants, flame retardants, solvents, pesticides, etc. The loss of ozone layer leads to increasing cases of cataracts and skin cancer and to damage of crops.
Abiotic Depletion, elements and fossil fuels
Abiotic Resource Depletion is a measure of mineral and fossil fuel resources used to produce a product.
Acidification Acidification is commonly associated with atmospheric pollution arising from anthropogenically derived sulphur and nitrogen as NOx or ammonia, which e.g. occur during the production of agricultural products. Acidification causes the destruction of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems through the deposition of strong acids (acid rain) and ammonia.
Eutrophication Eutrophication is the overgrowth of biomass caused by the release of nutrients, particularly fixed nitrogen and phosphorus. Eutrophied water bodies show early effects in terms of species distribution and toxic algal blooms, and ultimately as algae decompose eutrophication causes oxygen depletion leading to fish kills.
Formation potential of trophospheric ozone
Trophospheric ozone or photochemical smog is produced when oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic susbtances are present in the lower atmosphere in the presence of sunlight. This form of oxygen formed, ozone, causes many effects: reducing crop yields, causing asthma and other respiratory effects in humans and animals.
Land Use The amount of agricultural area occupied. Land use change creates ecological effects including climate change effects especially when forests are converted to other land use such as agriculture.
Human and freshwater toxicity
It represents direct effects of releases of toxic susbtances on organisms. The impact causes many effects: reducing crop yields, increasing cases of cancer and ultimately effects such as losses of species and ecosystems.
Water Scarcity Water scarcity is commonly described as the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water usage within a region. It is a function of available water resources and human population. It leads to lack of access to drinking water, hunger, diseases etc.
