15 sustainability efforts of the denim industry in 2019

When it comes to garment manufacturing, the denim industry is the one putting the most strain on the environment due to the washes, dyes and chemicals used and the overall water consumption needed to make just one pair of jeans (currently around 2,000 gallons or 7,600 liters of water). All the more heartening to see that the industry is taking serious efforts to reduce its footprint through sustainable lines and products, more efficient manufacturing processes and techniques that reduce water consumption. FashionUnited has put together 13 such efforts for 2019.
