Keep denim
going ’round

When denim is recycled, its life becomes circular. Because it’s made from cotton, a natural fiber, it can be transformed into something new. Keep your denim in the loop and out of the landfill with the Blue Jeans Go Green™ program.

How denim goes full circle

When clothes are designed, sourced, and produced with natural materials, worn for as long as possible, and then repurposed or recycled, their life is circular. They do good for the earth by avoiding the landfill, and they create possibilities for communities through their new purpose.

Thanks to the renewability of denim made from cotton, your well-loved jeans, jackets, and more can be given new life through the Blue Jeans Go Green™ program. From housing insulation to pet beds and beyond, we're proud to keep denim in the loop.
