Creating Sustainable Denim for Levi's

PATRICK SILVA SZATKOWSKI

Problem
Levi's R approached us with a problem. They wanted to create a new line of sustainable denim products that would appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. However, they were struggling to find a textile solution that met their high standards for both sustainability and quality.
We knew that this was a common issue in the fashion industry. Many brands want to move towards more sustainable practices, but they often struggle to find suppliers who can provide materials that meet their needs. We saw an opportunity to use our expertise in textiles to help Levi's R overcome this challenge.
Solution
We worked closely with Levi's R to understand their specific requirements for the new denim line. Based on our discussions, we recommended using a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester as the primary material for the products.
To ensure that the fabric met Levi's R's sustainability goals, we sourced the organic cotton from a certified fair trade supplier and the recycled polyester from post-consumer plastic bottles. We also used our 3d knitting technology and  eco-friendly dyeing processes and minimized water usage during production.
Impact
Reduced carbon footprint by 30 %
Increased sales  due to consumer demand for sustainable products
