New technologies and practices will empower Wrangler to make progress and <strong>advance the industry forward in water conservation measures<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To realise the new goal, <strong>Wrangler is collaborating with the Transformers Foundation<\/strong> to complete a comprehensive water balance study, which will analyse the denim industry\u2019s water consumption by production phase.<\/p>\n<p>Roian Atwood, senior director of global sustainable business at Wrangler, added: \u201cA renewed sustainability target creates an organisational focus that enables Wrangler to create meaningful change through the conservation of water resources.<strong> Because water is a shared resource, its conservation is also a shared responsibility.<\/strong> Working with the Transformers Foundation will help accelerate sustainability collaboration in our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to its work in the finishing phase, Wrangler will align the new goal with\u00a0 other existing projects in its denim production process, including \"Indigood Foam Dyeing\".<\/p>\n<p><strong>In 2019, Wrangler became the first brand to offer denim dyed with foam,<\/strong> which uses 100% less water than conventionally-dyed denim.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/subscribe-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-146496 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/wp-content\/uploads\/Banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"260\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":154164,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10488,9763,6,12969],"tags":[9929,4039,13533,11472],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
