| Summary: | The environmental adversities led to a paradigm change in the production and consumption of goods and services in general, which have given rise to anti-ethics attitudes that deceive the consumer with pseudo-ecological products – practice called “greenwashing”. The objective of this paper is to present the studies about a mixed fabric made of silk, subjected to the discoloring test and a life-cycle assessment. Results show a terrible fixation of color, which leads to the conclusion that the product is non-ecological, regardless of the advantages in the production phase. |
