Brands are becoming more and more eco-conscious in their choice of materials and suppliers; a positive development, which will ensure an even closer look at supply chains.

Clariant’s Advanced Denim technology helps to reduce water consumption during the manufacture and dyeing of jeans by as much as 92%, while 63% of the usual cotton waste is avoided and around 30% can be saved in energy costs too compared to a traditional denim process.
