Innovating the green future of the planet
SUSTAINABILITY
Together, we can make a difference.
At EcoaTEX, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. That's why we modeled our sustainability initiative after the UN's Economic and Social Council's three pillars for sustainable development: economic, social, and environmental. These three pillars, along with the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals, are designed to keep us striving to end issues like climate change and create a more sustainable future.

Sustainability is essential for our health and well-being, environmental survival, ethical labor, and economic success.
Our dyeing process reduces water use by 90%, while eliminating harsh chemicals and waste production.
CURRENT DYEING METHODS...
With almost 5 billion pairs of jeans sold annually across the globe, the Earth cannot afford to sustain the same harmful practices.
Use up to 150 liters of water for every pair of jeans
Release 84,500 tons of sodium hydrosulfite (a corrosive and harmful chemical) into the environment
Produce 400,000 tons of waste water per denim mill per year
We are creating biodegradable fibers from abundant, natural resources.
COMMONLY USED
MATERIALS...
Cotton alone uses around 6% of the world's pesticides and 16% of all insecticides, which is more than any other crop.
Extremely harmful to the environment, it contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and pollutes thousands of liters of water.
Petroleum-based materials require significantly more energy to produce than natural or recycled fibers.
They also require large amounts of water and chemical use, as well as producing waste and pollution.
We are creating a biodegradable leather alternative from natural waste materials.
ANIMAL LEATHER...
The fashion industry is one of the most environmentally destructive industries in the world. It is responsible for 10% of all global carbon emissions.
The cleaning process alone for animal leather produces approximately 650 million kilos of CO2.
VEGAN LEATHERS...
While some vegan leathers offer an alternative to animal leather, many are often made from petroleum-based plastics and contain hazardous chemicals.
These materials are not biodegradable and contribute to large amounts of waste production and microplastics.
