Global leader in denim authenticity and sustainable innovation for more than 130 years, Cone Denim has partnered with Regenagri®, an international regenerative agriculture initiative to help organizations reach new levels of sustainability by incorporating regenerative cotton in its premium denim styles.
As per a Textile World report, through this initiative, Cone Denim aims to increase access to sustainably sourced cotton grown using regenerative agricultural practices while also working on various programs to help its customers and brands achieve key sustainability actions.
Cone Denim advocates regenerative agriculture as a more sustainable approach to farming and way to minimize apparel’s global footprint. By working with nature, these practices help improve soil health by restoring the soil’s organic carbon. Regenerative practices include no-till agriculture, use of cover crops, diverse crop rotations, in addition to reduced use of fertilizer or pesticides. Cone supports Regenagri® initiatives that support organizations transitioning to holistic farming, including prioritization of increasing soil health and biodiversity, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and sequestering CO2.
