Sustainability Practices

Dr. Denim uses highly polluting materials to make clothes such as conventional cotton. It has disastrous social and environmental impacts. It pollutes soils, rivers, and streams, endangering human health and ecosystems.

Dr. Denim also uses a lot of synthetic materials made from oil such as nylon, polyester, spandex, and acrylic. It uses some regenerated fibers made from renewable materials such as viscose rayon.

Dr. Denim doesn't provide any information regarding how it chooses its network of suppliers, or if any audits are conducted to ensure social standards, living wages, good working conditions, and identify potential risk areas.

Dr. Denim doesn't use any exotic animal skin, or hair, fur, angora, down, or leather. But it uses wool to manufacture some of its clothing.

Wool production has a disastrous impact on the environment. The farming and processing of wool produce greenhouse gases and wastes. Wool isn't an ethical or sustainable fiber.

It's the fifth most harmful material used in textile products for the environment, worse than synthetic fibers such as polyester, acrylic, viscose rayon, elastane, and nylon.

Sustainability Goals

Dr. Denim doesn't show any measurement of its water usage, pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste across its supply chain. It doesn't have any clear sustainability goal, science-based target, or timeline to improve in the future either.
