CERTIFIED

raw materials

These organsk® jeans begin in the organic cotton fields, where farmers pick the cotton that will ultimately be used to create our denim material. At organsk®, we only use GOTS certified organic farms for all our virgin cotton.

That means, that our virgin cotton that is used in these jeans is organically grown and harvested using less water and energy, no hazardous pesticides or toxic chemicals that can harm you or our ecosystem.

Apart from the organic cotton, recycled polyester is used in these jeans. Our polyester is GRS-Certified recycled and is made of post-consumer PET bottles.

The final ingredient in these wide leg jeans, is a touch of Elastane (1.11%). Elastane, also known as Spandex or Lycra, is a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional stretchiness. It is often used in combination with other fibers to create stretchy clothing and is used in a variety of garments, including athletic wear, swimwear, and denim. Elastane is the only conventional fiber used in these jeans, and is added for comfort-stretch and flexibility.

All fibers, such as the organic cotton, recycled polyester and elastane are provided by the ISKO™ Denim Mill, Turkey.

Impact

Organic cotton

Our certified organic cotton is grown without harmful chemicals. This leaves the air, soil and water free from contaminates that cause harm. It emits up to half the CO2 as compared to conventional cotton production - uses up to 62% less energy and less water to grow since organic cotton farmers typically utilize rain far more than irrigation.
From cotton to fabric

We know the impacts of our limited resources. Using only 16.5 liters of fresh water to produce denim fabric for Wave Jeans and 1.39 kg carbon emissions which is nearly 2.38 kWh of electricity use.

INDUSTRY STANDARD:

100 - 300 Liters
Fabric to jeans

From fabric to finish, we acknowledge responsibility for the social and environmental footprint of our technologies and operations. Using 0 liters to make these jeans and 0 kWh of electricity use in laundry process.

INDUSTRY STANDARD:

200 - 500 Liters
CO2 impact

Estimated average impact for the final product of organsk®jeans accross the entire supply chain is 6.62 kg CO2/piece, which is less than 1 steak. Not too bad for a product that will last you a long time.

Water calculation

Water consumption

The water used in cotton farming is not included in the calculations above. Throughout the whole process to produce a pair of jeans, cotton cultivation has a huge importance dealing water consumption. Cotton cultivation is by far the most water-intensive process – and it makes up to 90% of the water footprint of a pair of jeans. Cotton's average irrigation depends primarily on the geographic location of the cotton field, and will therefore vary quite a bit.

According to a Textile Exchange report, organic cotton farming has the potential of reducing blue water consumption by 91%, compared to conventional cotton.

The 91% is debatable, as the geographical area plays an important role.

Conventional Cotton

Numerous studies have shown that a t-shirt or a pair of jeans use thousands of liters of blue water to make.

Using conventional cotton, it takes around 7500 litres of water to make a single pair of jeans, according to the UN. Some studies show 10.000, 12.000 liters or more.

Organic Cotton

Unlike conventional cotton, organic cotton is mostly irrigated by rainwater and therefore uses less groundwater. Farmers rely on rain to water their crops, rather than extracting water from the ground. Cotton grown organically is produced without pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, or other chemicals such as fertilizers. Farmers use natural techniques to ward off insects and threats.

Today, less than one percent of the cotton grown globally is organic.

OUR DATA

At ORGANSK®, we have been able to map out 3 styles that are made of 100% of organic cotton, farmed 100% in Turkey, where most of our organic cotton is grown.

Our numbers are based on LCA data from our suppliers. Comparing our data with the industry standard of 7.500 liters, we do reach around 90% in savings regarding blue water consumption. As we also use recycled cotton in various styles, we estimate that the savings exceed 90% for a numerous newly manufactured ORGANSK® jeans.

As every ORGANSK® jeans becomes a new jeans, our savings will keep increasing.

HOW IS OUR COTTON BETTER?

At ORGANSK®, we ONLY use certified organic cotton and certified recycled cotton and fibers in all our products to fight the challenges that we all face.

Healthier Soil

Organic farming uses crop rotation, cover crops, and organic fertilizers instead of toxic pesticides.

Clean Water For Everyone

Groundwater, streams, and rivers are not poisoned by pesticides.

Safer For Humans

By replacing dangerous chemicals with natural alternatives and old-fashioned methods, farmers and consumers are spared dangerous levels of exposure.

Our organic cotton is grown without harmful chemicals. This leaves the air, soil and water free from contaminates that cause harm. It emits half the CO2 as compared to conventional cotton production - uses up to 62% less energy and less water to grow since organic cotton farmers typically utilize rain far more than irrigation.
