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.
