1. We’re 80% recycled
REUSE’s eco-friendly jeans are fashioned with 80% recycled fabric, so each purchase will help reduce waste in the world’s landfills while contributing to a cleaner, greener Earth.
2. No One Wants to Live Next to A Landfill
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans generated more than 11.8 million tons of textile waste in 2006 alone, amounting to a remarkable 10 pounds per person. Recycled jeans help preserve existing landfill space.
3. We’re Improving Our Industry
Conventional jeans are counter to sustainability, given that a single factory can add up to 60,000 pounds of textile waste to a landfill each week.
4. Eco-Friendly Products Reflect the Future
Recent consumer trends suggest a growing transition from conspicuous to conscious consumption. In response, eco-friendly apparel has experienced measurable growth. REUSE jeans embrace this paradigm shift, while helping to usher in a new era of fashion.
5. Enjoy Premium Denim without the Premium Price
Tailored for stylish fits, processed with fashion-forward wash treatments,a nd accentuated by handcrafted details, REUSE offers premium denim without the premium price, so you can focus on the carbon cost of your jeans first and your budget second.
6. Organic Jeans are Water Hogs
Organic denim can be highly taxing on Earth’s natural resources. According to the Canadian Research Institute, approximately 1,800 gallons of water are required to manufacture just one pair of organic jeans.
7. Pollution is a Global Epidemic
As a region that has long been the center of inexpensive manufacturing, without regard to environmental preservation, China’s landfills are fraught with textile waste. By manufacturing in China, we’re not only reversing the damage in Asia, but we’re also contributing to a healthier Earth. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, on certain days, one-fourth of the particulate matter (dust and soot) clouding the Los Angeles skyline originates in China.
8. Ecology Meets Technology
While creating sustainable products, quality remains essential. That’s why, in addition to using 80% recycled cotton, REUSE incorporates 18.5% fresh cotton and 1.5% spandex for optimum strength, durability, and comfort.
9. We’re Mindful of Our Carbon Footprint
When shipping from China, we have eliminated excess packaging and labeling, therefore minimizing our carbon footprint. We are also seeking new, eco-friendly methods through which to improve upon this process.
10. Healthy Earth, Healthy Economy
Both recycling and choosing recycled products create demand for more eco-friendly goods, which decreases waste, while fueling production and boosting the global economy.
