People
Royo is an impressive company with deeply embedded social and environmental goals. They have collaborated with Recover to create a denim upcycling programme. Recover turn textile waste into quality recycled yarn, which Royo then dyes and weaves into denim fabric. Dion Vijgeboom, product manager at Mud, visits the Yousstex factory every few months to ensure quality working conditions. He has built a good relationship with the factory owner, Mr. Habib, and any issues that arise can be discussed in an open and productive manner. Labourers work 8 hours a day, 5.5 days a week. Free medical care and transportation are provided. Factory is safe and appropriately air-conditioned/ heated. Workers report they are paid fairly and on time.
Planet
Recycled denim reduces the amount of virgin cotton needed. (Cotton is a resource intensive crop, requiring up to 20,000 l water to produce just 1 kg). Organic virgin cotton protects the environment and health of farmers from the damaging intensive fertilisers and pesticides conventionally used.
Brothers We Stand has received evidence that the major suppliers involved in the production of these jeans all have wastewater treatment plans in place.
Mud is using innovative technology to produce the different finishes on their jeans that either reduce or eliminate the amount of damage done to the garment, the water, energy, chemicals, and/or tough manual labour used in comparison to conventional finishing processes.
Mud Jeans is a circular brand - this means they aim to ​​keep fabric in use for as long as possible by repairing, repurposing and recycling the jeans they make. MUD’s jeans are currently made of 40% post-consumer recycled cotton but dream that one day it will be 100%. You can read more about fashion and the circular economy here.
