Five reasons you’ll fall in love with printing on recycled cotton denim

Denim is one of the world’s most popular fashion textiles. With 450 million pairs of jeans sold annually, denim has been a staple in every wardrobe since the 1960s. According to Cotton Inc., six out of ten consumers say they” love or enjoy” living in their denim, and that they own around six to nine pairs at any given time.

There’s no denying that denim is here to stay, but at what cost? 

The environmental impact of the production and printing of cotton denim is staggering. A study by Levi Strauss & Co. found that manufacturing just one pair of jeans produces vast amounts of solid waste and air pollution, consumes 3781 gallons of water, and adds toxic pollutants to our waterways through the use of indigo dyes and chemicals.
