Cotton

Choose responsibly, cotton is not innocent: its environmental impact is disastrous!

The Aral Sea is the fourth largest lake in the world, but it has now practically disappeared, primarily due to cotton cultivation. It has been defined by the United Nations as one of the worst environmental disasters on the planet.

From the lake, 43 million tons of pesticide-laden dust are expelled into the air every year.

The World Counts

textile dyes change the color of rivers

Impact of dyes

The dyeing process generates various types of waste streams, including water-based effluents, as well as air emissions, solid wastes and hazardous wastes.

The denim fabric is dyed in the classic indigo blue color. Many jeans exhibit color fading, which contributes to the alarming damage caused by the 40,000 tons of indigo produced annually.

15 kg of waste

In Europe, textiles per capita are produced every year.

The primary source of textile waste is clothing and home textiles, which account for approximately 85% of total waste.
