Founded by Sarah Ahmed, Warp + Weft has made an impact on the apparel industry with its ultra-inclusive range of sizes and inseams, but it's also touted as the world's cleanest vertically integrated denim company (meaning it owns its own factory).


Since the brand's launch in 2017, they've sold more than 477,000 pairs of jeans and saved more than 572.4 million gallons of water. 


To be completely transparent about its manufacturing process, Warp + Weft gives a look inside its factory, highlighting elements like responsibly sourced cotton, eco-friendly dye, water-saving techniques, and solar power.

Over 10% of the world’s population is currently deprived of access to clean water, a staggering statistic which puts an alarming perspective on our thirsty denim purchases. Unfortunately, it tends to be the driest countries that shoulder the burden of creating the water-intensive goods that we crave. Pakistan, for example, has a large cotton industry but has been in the midst of a water crisis for years.]]> 2020-09-15 10:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ellawhite5144/vcg1ab08bdz7bzgr/wish/747223775 Pesticides ellawhite5144 https://padlet.com/ellawhite5144/vcg1ab08bdz7bzgr/wish/747226630 Water consumption isn’t the only ethical concern with denim. While cotton only takes up 2.5% of agricultural land, it accounts for 16% of all the insecticides and 6.8% of all herbicides used worldwide. Pesticides can be highly toxic and create a hazardous working environment for cotton farmers. Between 1 and 3% of agricultural workers worldwide suffer from acute pesticide poisoning with at least 1 million requiring hospitalisation each year. Furthermore, pesticides can pollute nearby soil and water systems, threatening food supplies and creating health risks!]]> 2020-09-15 10:21:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ellawhite5144/vcg1ab08bdz7bzgr/wish/747226630 Dyes ellawhite5144 https://padlet.com/ellawhite5144/vcg1ab08bdz7bzgr/wish/747227478 In addition to the pesticides used in cotton production, harmful chemicals may also be used extensively in denim’s dyeing process. Azo dyes, for example, can sometimes release carcinogenic amines. Such chemicals can be harmful to the environment and a risk to worker health and safety. Look for brands which use natural dyes and organic cotton, that way you can avoid funding these toxic processes.]]> 2020-09-15 10:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ellawhite5144/vcg1ab08bdz7bzgr/wish/747227478 Sandblasting ellawhite5144 https://padlet.com/ellawhite5144/vcg1ab08bdz7bzgr/wish/747228138 Ever wondered how your favorite pair of ‘distressed’ jeans got to look so weathered? It’s not because they were hung out for months and exposed to the elements before they hit the shelves. The look is achieved through a controversial technique called sandblasting. As the name suggests, jeans are literally blasted with sand to soften the fabric and wear them down. The process poses significant health risks to workers as the fine dust particles can lodge themselves in people’s lungs. There are other ways to create the distressed look such as stone-washing, sandpapering, brushing, or using lasers. While more costly than sandblasting, these methods achieve similar results.

A significant problem is that many companies don’t have as much control over or knowledge of their supply chain as they should. In March 2015, for example, an undercover Al Jazeera investigation discovered Chinese workers sandblasting jeans for popular labels including Hollister and American Eagle, apparently unbeknown to the brands. Yikes.

As we’ve seen above, many steps in the denim manufacturing process pose significant risks to workers’ safety. There are also issues in countries such as West and Central Africa and Brazil where farmers are unable to compete with the cost of US-subsidised cotton.]]> 2020-09-15 10:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ellawhite5144/vcg1ab08bdz7bzgr/wish/747228661 ellawhite5144 https://padlet.com/ellawhite5144/vcg1ab08bdz7bzgr/wish/747259743 2020-09-15 10:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ellawhite5144/vcg1ab08bdz7bzgr/wish/747259743 ellawhite5144 https://padlet.com/ellawhite5144/vcg1ab08bdz7bzgr/wish/747273291 2020-09-15 11:02:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ellawhite5144/vcg1ab08bdz7bzgr/wish/747273291 The Gloabal Denim Project ellawhite5144 https://padlet.com/ellawhite5144/vcg1ab08bdz7bzgr/wish/747286236 2020-09-15 11:14:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ellawhite5144/vcg1ab08bdz7bzgr/wish/747286236 DIANA STREETSTYLE ellawhite5144 https://padlet.com/ellawhite5144/vcg1ab08bdz7bzgr/wish/747589452 This image is conteroversial to say the least.
