Non-organic cotton farming is one of the most harmful agricultural industries with around 2/3 of a pound of pesticides used to make a pair of jeans and 1/3 for a t-shirt. This accounts for about 10% of all pesticide use globally. As you can imagine, most of this then ends up in the soil and streams and further down the food chain. It takes three years for a field to be considered pesticide free and suitable for organic farming.
Plus, thanks to the Del Forte Project Rejeaneration, you can send back your used jeans once you have finished with them and the fabric is used in the Rejeaneration range. You are also rewarded with a 10% voucher off your next purchase or they will donate your 10% to The SCP.
