As part of a broader project, which should answer the research question whether renting casual clothes provides ecological benefits compared to conventional consumption, two literature reviews have been conducted. The first one addresses the field of Life Cycle Assessment in the textile sector. The second study considers the literature regarding the Life Cycle Assessment of Product-Service Systems. We present findings on the dependence of LCA studies, lack of available data of chemicals, benefits from technological development in the field, the importance of the use phase of clothes and suggest further routes of research regarding user behavior and methodological development.
