Survey of 142 BGMEA/BKMEA member factories. Key findings: only 8% have begun structured DPP data collection, 67% rely on Excel spreadsheets for compliance data, 91% name DPP readiness as a top-3 commercial risk. Average reported preparation budget: $24,000–$78,000.
FULL REPORT (PDF) →Median Product Carbon Footprint (kgCO₂eq) per garment category, calculated using Higg MSI v3.7 + Ecoinvent v3.9 + IPCC AR6 GWP100 + BPDB 2024 grid factor (0.61 kgCO₂/kWh). Knit cotton T-shirt: 3.2 kgCO₂eq. Denim jeans: 11.8 kgCO₂eq. Polyester polo: 5.6 kgCO₂eq.
DATA TABLE (CSV) →Quantitative analysis of EU market dependency. Bangladesh exports $46B in apparel annually, with 62% destined for EU markets ($28.5B). Loss of EU market access from DPP non-compliance scenario modelled at $8B–$14B annual revenue impact for the industry, with knock-on employment effects for 2.4M workers.
