Letâs get real: Traditional denim production uses significant water. Most jeans require 2,000+ gallons of water per pair during manufacturing. But we didnât just accept this standardâwe worked with sustainability experts to develop practices that reduce environmental impact, from fabric to finish.
Eco-Innovations: Thoughtful Choices, Measurable Impact
Our commitment to sustainability is built into every step of making our jeans:
- âťď¸Â Tencel + Recycled Cotton Blend: We use a blend of Tencel⢠(made from sustainably harvested eucalyptus) and recycled cotton. Tencel⢠requires significantly less water than conventional cotton, and recycled cotton reduces reliance on new raw materials. Together, this blend cuts water use by 60% compared to traditional denim fabrics.
- âĄÂ Laser Distressing: Instead of using harsh chemicals or excessive water to create a âlived-inâ look, we use precision laser technology. This method etches fades and details without toxic substances, reducing pollution and minimizing resource use.
- đŚÂ Compostable Packaging: Your jeans arrive in plant-based packaging that breaks down naturally, avoiding single-use plastic. Even our tags are made from recycled paper, keeping waste out of landfills.
Transparency: See the Journey for Yourself
We believe sustainability should be clear and verifiable. Thatâs why every Oneso jean has a âFarm-to-Fitâ QR code inside the waistband đ. Scan it to:
- Trace the origin of your denim, from organic cotton farms (where no harmful pesticides are used) to production facilities.
- View data on water, energy, and COâ savings specific to your pair of jeans.
- Learn about the ethical manufacturing practices that ensure fair treatment of workers.
Your Role: Extend the Lifecycle
Sustainability is a partnership, and hereâs how you can help:
đ Wash less, wash cold: Jeans stay fresh with air-drying between wears. When washing is needed, cold water reduces energy use âď¸.
đ Mend when possible: Small rips or tears can be repaired easilyâwe include free repair kits (thread, patches, needles) with every order đŞĄ. Extending the life of your jeans reduces waste.
đ Recycle old denim: Send us your worn-out jeans, and weâll repurpose them into new materials. As a thank you, youâll get 15% off your next order âťď¸.
