Gap, H&M, Lee and Tommy Hilfiger are just some of the brands that have already signed up to the initiative, with the initial pairs of ‘redesigned’ jeans set to go on sale next year, and pieces crafted according to the guidelines will be allowed to display a special logo indicating this fact.”The way we produce jeans is causing huge problems with waste and pollution, but it doesn’t have to be this way,” said Francois Souchet, Lead at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Make Fashion Circular initiative. “By working together we can create jeans that last longer, that can be remade into new jeans at the end of their use, and are made in ways which are better for the environment and the people that make them.”This is not the first big environmental initiative from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation: in March the organization highlighted the fashion and beauty brands tackling the issue of plastic waste with its ‘New Plastics Economy Global Commitment.’
