	abstract = {The textile printing and dyeing industry, with huge chemical demand, has a negative impact on the ecosystem. Chemical
footprint quantifies the toxic impacts of chemical pollutants by assessing their behaviour in the environment. In this
paper, four methods were used to calculate and evaluate the chemical footprint of a polyester dress printing and dyeing
process. The chemical footprint of the printing and dyeing process of a polyester dress, calculated with USEtox,
Assessment of Mean Impact, Score System, and Strategy Tool, was 1585.51 PAF×m3 ×day, 14089.04 l, 331, and 75,
respectively. Scouring, colouring, pretreatment, and printing were identified as the major procedures contributing, with
the antifoaming agents and the chelating disperse agents as the major auxiliaries contributing. The results of the
Strategy Tool are limited in their representativeness of environmental load. Compared to other methods, AMI ensures
that the evaluation results are scientific while maintaining user-friendliness.},
