Araştırma, Ellen MacArthur Vakfı tarafından İngiltere'de başlatılan Jeans Redesign Projesi'nin denim sektöründe sürdürülebilirlik ve çevre dostu uygulamalara etkisini incelemektedir. 2019 yılında "Modayı Döngüsel Hale Getir" inisiyatifi çerçevesinde başlatılan Jeans Redesign Projesi, zararlı kimyasalların kullanımını en aza indirmeyi, geleneksel yıkama yöntemlerinin çevresel etkilerini azaltmayı ve su tasarrufu sağlamaya yönelik alternatif çözüm stratejileri geliştirmeyi hedeflemektedir. Proje, döngüsel ekonomi ilkelerine dayalı olarak ürünlerin sürdürülebilir materyaller kullanılarak tasarlanmasını ve atık oluşturmadan yeniden kullanılabilir olmasını öngören "Beşikten Beşiğe" yaklaşımını benimsemektedir."Yaşam Döngüsü Değerlendirmesi" (LCA) ve "Beşikten Beşiğe" (Cradle-to-Cradle) kavramları, sürdürülebilirlik ve döngüsel ekonomi hedeflerine ulaşmada merkezi bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu yöntemler, ürünlerin tasarım ve üretim süreçlerinde geri dönüştürülebilir ve yeniden kullanılabilir olmasını sağlayarak doğal kaynak kullanımını ve atık miktarını azaltmaktadır. Yaklaşık yüz katılımcı firma, proje kapsamında çevresel etkileri ve atık miktarını düşürme hedefleri doğrultusunda çalışmalarını yürütmektedir. Bu girişimin denim endüstrisine katkılarını ve sektördeki yenilikçi adımları vurgularken, mevcut durumu ve gelecekteki potansiyel sürdürülebilir gelişmeleri derinlemesine incelemektedir. Endüstri ve tüketici davranışlarında çevresel etkileri azaltma yönündeki değişimleri vurgulayan 3R (Azalt, Yeniden Kullan, Geri Dönüştür) ve 5R (Onar ve Yeniden Düşün) prensipleri bu bağlamda önemli bir yer tutmaktadır.Bu makale, Jeans Redesign Projesi kapsamında denim üretim süreçlerinde uygulanan sürdürülebilir uygulamaları, sektördeki firmaların deneyimlerini, geliştirdikleri yenilikçi teknikleri ve bu tekniklerin çevresel etkilerini ayrıntılı bir şekilde ele almakta, karşılaşılan zorluklara yönelik katılımcı firmaların sunduğu çözüm önerilerini de ortaya koymaktadır.
