About This Item
TS EN ISO 5157 is a vocabulary standard that supports the consistent use of terms linked to environmental aspects and circular economy in the textile value chain. It addresses concepts associated with design, production, retail, use, reuse, recycling processes, repair and disposal, helping technical communication use the same language across sustainability-related topics.
Why standardised terminology matters
In textiles, environmental performance is tied not only to material choice but to the full product life cycle. That is why ideas such as environmental impact, circularity, reuse and recovery need to be interpreted consistently by different stakeholders. In general technical context, this standard brings together definitions for those concepts and supports terminology alignment between designers, manufacturers, retailers, recyclers and specialists.
General subject areas covered by this vocabulary standard
- General terms and definitions related to environmental and circular economy topics in the textile value chain
- Conceptual language used in design, production, retail and use stages
- Terminology connected with end-of-life practices such as reuse, repair, recycling and disposal
- Consistent expression of environmental topics across different stakeholders
From a general technical perspective, a vocabulary standard does not set performance limits; it clarifies the meaning and boundaries of concepts. This helps keep terminology consistent in technical documents, reports and corporate communication dealing with environmental impact, product life cycle and circularity.
