Abstract This study aims to quantify and analyze carbon emissions in the textile industry by developing a comprehensive framework that considers both parameters and processes. The total carbon footprint of the textile industry was calculated by analyzing 6 parameters, 21 indicators in parameter‐wise emissions, and 4 processes (spinning, weaving, dyeing, and garments) in process‐wise emissions. The dyeing process consistently contributed to the highest GHG emissions, from 49.47% in 2021 to 47.19% in 2024. The garment process is the lowest contributor to GHG emissions, ranging from 9.38% in 2021 to 9.82% in 2024. By analyzing the parameters separately, fuel was the highest contributor to GHG emissions, followed by energy, refrigerant, and water parameters. Its GHG emissions ranged from 92.87% in 2021 to 97.81% in 2024. The total carbon footprint of the industry increased over 4 years, from 63,139.18 metric tons of CO 2 e emissions in 2021 to 126,376.6 metric tons of CO 2 e emissions in 2024. After installing solar panels, offset emissions increased significantly, from 2056.85 metric tons per year in 2021 to 296,241.3 metric tons per year in 2024, which resulted in the industry achieving net negative emissions in 2023 (−191,552.58 MtCO 2 e) and 2024 (−169,864.71 MtCO 2 e).
