Iskur's in-house recycling facility processes pre- and post-consumer waste. The recycling facility has a production capacity of 25.000 kg per day. Iskur reports that with one ton of recycled fiber, up to 4,000 meters of fabric of different compositions can be produced.
By integrated fibers like recycled cotton, organic cotton and regenerative cotton, Denim Deal says Iskur aligns with circular design principles. The company also uses an indigo dyeing process that reduces water usage by up to 95 percent and utilizes renewable energy to minimize carbon emissions.
Denim Deal is industry-leading initiative committed to standardizing circular practices in denim production. The public and private organization unites brands, manufacturers, recyclers and policymakers in its mission to catalyze the production of 1 billion pairs of jeans containing at least 20 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) cotton by 2030.
Denim Deal provides circular guidelines based on industry feedback and legislative requirements. Members benefit from collaboration, education, exchanging information, action-driven pilots and workshops. A collective effort ensures that no single organization is working in isolation, the organization states.
Denim Deal has 50 partners. Mill partners include Bossa, Sharabati, Realteks, Kipas, DNM, Maritas, Naveena and Calik. In March, Denim Deal launched a campaign to grow its membership in France. The organization aims to grow its roster of brand partners.

Download SJ Denim's 'Made in America' Issue
Ongoing tariff negotiations and the U.S.'s declining global reputation, coupled with weakening economies and widespread political instability, have added significant complexity to the textile and apparel manufacturing industry. While denim is no more affected by these disruptions than other categories, blue jeans have emerged as a symbolic flashpoint in the broader debate. Arguably the most quintessential American garment, jeans have been manufactured primarily overseas for decades. This period has served as a reminder of how the legacy of American-made denim stands in contrast to today's global manufacturing reality. Despite President Trump's 'America First' policy, the prevailing sentiment from domestic denim brand owners and designers is that a thriving domestic denim industry is unlikely to make a comeback. The necessary investment, expertise, machinery, and skilled workforce simply aren't in place. The swift decline of Vidalia Mills in Louisiana—if it can even be said to have truly taken off—is a telling example.

Kingpins chief executive officer Vivian Wang said: 'Each season and for every city, we strive to bring new ideas, new technologies and new sources of inspiration to Kingpins.

It is also a space for inspiration, education and connection across the entire supply chain.

Türkiye offers draft to renew and expand energy collaboration with Iraq
Türkiye has reportedly submitted a draft proposal to Iraq aimed at renewing and broadening their existing energy agreement, according to a Reuters report. The proposal encompasses cooperation in sectors such as oil, gas, petrochemicals and electricity. This development follows Ankara's announcement of the termination of the long-standing Kirkuk-Ceyhan oil pipeline agreement. An official from the Iraqi Oil Ministry has indicated that the ministry is currently assessing the Turkish proposal. The official was quoted by the news agency as saying, 'The Ministry of Oil is in the process of reviewing the draft agreement sent by the Turkish side and negotiating with them regarding it to reach a formula that serves the interests of Iraq and Turkey'. The 1.6 million barrels per day Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline has been out of operation since 2023. An arbitration court ordered Türkiye to pay $1.5bn (Tl60.62bn) in damages for unauthorised Iraqi exports between 2014 and 2018, a ruling which Türkiye is contesting. Despite the pipeline's current inactivity, a senior Turkish official expressed Türkiye's desire to restore the oil conduit. Türkiye's decision to end the existing Türkiye-Iraq crude oil pipeline agreement from 27 July 2026 was published in its Official Gazette. The termination includes all related protocols and memorandums dating back to the 1970s. Efforts to resume oil flows through the pipeline have been ongoing. Ankara announced in late 2023 that the pipeline was ready to transport Iraqi oil, but negotiations involving Baghdad, the Kurdistan Regional Government and independent oil producers have yet to yield an agreement. The Turkish official highlighted the pipeline's potential as a 'highly active and strategic pipeline for the region', citing significant Turkish investment in its maintenance and its role in regional projects such as the Development Road. 'A new and vibrant phase for the Iraq-Turkey pipeline will benefit both countries and the region as a whole,' the official remarked, hinting at the broader implications of the proposed agreement. The Development Road initiative, which Türkiye sees as an opportunity to extend the pipeline further south, involves a high-speed road and rail link from Basrah in Iraq's to the Turkish border and eventually to Europe. Baghdad had already allocated initial funding for the project in 2023.
