However, the industry soon bounced back by adapting itself to new changes. It geared itself to offer comfortable, stylish and sustainable denim products, reports Fashion Capital.

Rise of the ‘sustainable’ denim

Denim mills, suppliers and brands across the world are looking to outstep each other in sustainability game. For example, Pakistani-based denim mill, Artistic Milliners has launched a capsule collection called ‘Reflection’ made from eight new fabrics. The fabrics are made from a combination of Lenzing’s Tencel™ X Refibra™ Modal Indigo Color Technology and the company’s inbuilt S3 Yarn Technology.

Austria-based Lenzing has launched Tencel™ branded modal fiber with indigo color technology that incorporates indigo pigment directly into Tencel™ branded modal fibers. The pigment is incorporated using a one-step spun-dyeing process, and delivers superior color fastness using fewer resources. Lenzing promotes this technology in partnership with supply chain partners including Cone Denim”

To minimize waste and take the industry towards a circular model, denim players are also adhering to Making Fashion Circular-The Jeans Redesign guidelines. Over 60 leading brands, manufacturers, and fabric mills, including Boyish Jeans, Denim Expert and Cone Denim Mills are using these guidelines to launch sustainable jeans.

The guidelines encourage brands to use their denim products for a longer period, and recycle using natural chemicals and production processes. The guidelines have attracted reputed denim brands indicating the industry’s growing shift to sustainability.
