Denim Dilemma: The Life Cycle of Blue Jeans and Its Impact

Journey through the life cycle of a pair of blue jeans and uncover its staggering environmental footprint.

With over 2 billion items sold annually, it's one of the major contributors to the fast-fashion plastic position. From cotton fields consuming up to 20,000 liters of water per pair to factories using harmful synthetic dyes, the denim industry's impact is immense.

Toxic dyes poison waterways, while 4.5 million workers in countries like Bangladesh endure poor factory conditions. After purchase, each wash releases microplastics into our oceans, and discarded jeans end up in landfills, releasing methane as they decompose.

This documentary exposes the hidden costs at every stage of a jean's life, from production to disposal. The denim industry needs change, and your decisions can drive that transformation.
