Purpose Under the global climate change, carbon footprint has become a hot issue at home and abroad. However, there is no consensus on the concept, measurement and application of carbon footprint. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, first, the concept and connotation of carbon footprint are reviewed; then, different methods of carbon footprint measurement are compared, and it is found that “bottom-up” life cycle assessment and “top-down” input–output analysis are applicable to different research scales. Findings Finally, the problems in the process of carbon footprint assessment in textile industry are analyzed and further research directions are proposed. Originality/value Analyzed and further research directions are proposed.
