What is the life cycle of a sweatshirt?

The life cycle of a sweatshirt begins with the sourcing of raw materials, typically cotton, polyester, or a blend. These materials are then processed, dyed, and woven into fabric, which is cut and sewn into the final garment. Once produced, sweatshirts are distributed to retailers, sold to consumers, and used for various activities. At the end of their life, they can be discarded, recycled, or repurposed, contributing to environmental impacts depending on the disposal method.
