Denim manufacturer Saitex invests in PRODYE-R

Jeans are a perennial favorite that are worn everywhere and always but are controversial from an environmental point of view simply because of their cotton requirements. The denim industry consumes 35% of the cotton produced every year. It takes 10,000 liters of water to produce one kilogram of cotton.

What’s more, chemicals and pesticides also need to be factored in for achieving a rich harvest. Additional environmental burdens arise in the manufacturing processes required until the jeans are finished, especially during dyeing.
