RECYCLED CONTENT MARKET DRIVERS SS23/24

According to the 2020 Dutch Denim Deal, by 2023 brand and mill participants aim to include at least 5% recycled content in all denim categories whilst collectively producing a total of 3 million pieces containing a minimum of 20% post consumer recycled cotton in a bid to make post-consumer cotton an industry standard. In pursuit of a more circular future, we’ve witnessed mills and brands stepping up their game over the last few seasons, joining the Dutch Denim Deal and folding recycled content into many of their fabrics. Understanding the di erent qualities, properties and challenges will help to navigate this complex world and enable choices that tackle the waste in our industry. These are the 5 main types of recycled content to look out for:

• Post-industrial cotton waste (ie: waste

• Recycled Polyester (ie: Polyester recycled

Bossa proves stretch denim can be extremely waste-conscious with their combination of sustainable ingredients. Re bra™ is a regenerated cellulosic bre made from blended wood pulp from sustainably managed forests combined with cellulose pulp from PCW. The introduction of recycled polys and elastanes as used here, means that both stretch and added strength can be waste-neutral too. As regenerated cellulosic bres are becoming more commonly used we expect to see these kind of fabrics transform the denim market over coming years. Soorty’s ‘Harmless’ fabric quality combines REFIBRA™ with Circulose®; another leading circular focussed bre, using 100% chemically recycled content. The introduction of chemical recycling doesn’t mean that mechanical recycling isn’t still extremely relevant and AGI are perfecting their capabilities season on season.

Their 100% recycled quality combines the highest possible amount of PCW cotton with their mill’s PIW cotton.

Indigo dyeing is a resource intensive and often wasteful stage of the denim making process. Mills have been on a mission to turn that around for several seasons, with signi cant breakthroughs year on year. Singling out and combatting harmful ingredients or processes is an ongoing journey and tackling indigo dyeing in particular is a truly collaborative process across the supply chain with mills and suppliers all putting their brains behind better techniques. Key innovations in this area include:

In a recent partnership between Fashion for Good, Levis and Stony Creek, the three companies announced plans to scale up the use of IndiGold™, new pre-reduced form of natural Indigo, estimated to enter the market in late 2022. Stony Creek is now in the process of having mills perform trial runs under a number of di erent indigo dye methods using IndiGold™. With sustainability in mind, the new Saitex Mill is using the Smart-Indigo system to develop hydrosul te-free indigo dyebaths that only use indigo pigment, caustic soda, water and electricity. The Smart-Indigo™ system utilizes an electrochemical dyebath preparation that emits less carbon dioxide, consumes less energy, and less water where the only waste product is oxygen due to Saitex’s advanced water recycling system.

All products presented as digital renderings open for pre-order, reducing production cost and overstock inventory, while further propelling consumers interaction with digital garments in a unique way.

Tommy Hil ger folded digitally rendered design into their remit a few years ago and has since made their software, Stitch 3D, available to brands outside PVH.

Virtual showrooms and sourcing platforms, 3D design rendering and garments that exist solely in a digital realm are on the increase, with many brands and mills investing in this exploding market.

SAFER SYNTHETICS MARKET DRIVERS SS23/24

When we hear the words ‘man made’ or ‘chemical’ we assume this equals bad. The truth is, everything in nature is chemistry and some man made bres and fabrics are less harmful to the environment than we think. Mills and bre companies are trying to tackle the more damaging synthetic bres in our denim world such as PET polyester and elastane, creating them from recycled materials or exploring the ability for them to degrade in nature.

While the real goal is to use and consume less, western societies’ consumerist nature is compelling companies to nd new avenues for waste repurposing and reduction in regards to synthetic bers.

• Synthetic bres are still needed for

• Several bre additive solutions are enabling synthetics to degrade once garments are discarded. CiCLO® is an additive that allows the biodegration of PET polyesters whilst Roica™ V550 (Asahi) is an elastane with some biodegradable properties. Both are examples of plastic based bres that act more like natural or regenerated cellulose if garments end up in land ll.

Most customers don’t walk into a denim store and ask where the cotton was grown… but that approach in retail is starting to change. As technology drives traceability, accountability within the supply chain is stepping up and mills are choosing more considered raw materials from an ethical, geographical and sustainable standpoint. From cotton tracing to farming practices, carbon footprint to raw material attributes, smarter choices are being made all the way from seed to shelf.

The conversation may have started with concerns over Xinjiang cotton and modern slavery but the complex cotton world is receiving increasing attention from concerned consumers.

Proximity and location was paramount when Vidalia mills opened their American mill and manufacturing facility in 2019, just 5 minutes down the road from the nearest cotton farm, meaning ‘farm to jean’ can be achieved in a 30 mile radius.
