When most manufacturers make clothing, all excess fabric scraps are thrown out, eventually making their way to landfills. Not only is this wasteful, It also contributes to the destruction of our ecosystems as well as formation of new landfills. Also, Less denim in landfills means less greenhouse gases from decomposing fabrics being dispersed into our atmosphere.
Less Global Pesticide Use

Saves over 1000 gallons of water

Water makes up over 71% of the earths surface, yet only 3% of it is suitable for sustaining life. With 1800 gallons of water being needed to grow enough cotton to manufacture a single pair of jeans, each pair of Reco Jeans takes us one step backward from the epidemic consumable water shortage we will otherwise face within a generation.
