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:
- â»ïžÂ Tencel + Recycled Cotton Blend: We use a blend of Tencelâą (made from sustainably harvested eucalyptus) and recycled cotton. Tencelâą 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.
- đŠÂ 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 âïž.
đ Mend when possible: Small rips or tears can be repaired easilyâwe include free repair kits (thread, patches, needles) with every order đȘĄ. 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 â»ïž.
