Recycling textile product has been a challenge to the industry especially when we talk about making something out of Denim....
About Us
Protection of the Ecosystem is in Our Power
Washing clothes, releases 500,000 tons of microfibers into the ocean each year — the equivalent of 50 billion plastic bottles.
What does the From Denim To Green aim to achieve?
Green with style. That’s how we’d like the world to be
The From Denim To Green project has been initiated as a response to the impact the textile industry today has on the environment and how it will affect the life of the entire planet in the future. We want to wake up all the consumers, increase cooperation with business and brands, boost education and build new solutions so people can stay stylish without harming the environment and the economy.
Join the race to make the world a better place
Many of those fibers are polyester, a plastic found in an estimated 60% of garments. Producing polyester releases two to three times more carbon emissions than cotton, and polyester does not break down in the ocean.
How will the From Denim To Green be organised?
We need to dress smart. We need to be green.
We will create a European network of eco-activists who seek to make society aware of the impact the textile industry and our consumption methods have on the environment by linking businesses, schools and research into a holistic environmental protection network.
