Jeans are one of the Germans' must-haves. On average, everyone should have up to eight pairs of jeans in their wardrobe. Jeans are made from cotton. At first you think that cotton is a natural product and should be environmentally friendly and sustainable. However, upon closer inspection, this is not true, at least not when it comes to growing conventional cotton. Here, monocultures are grown, for which pesticides are used. The consequences of this are the death of bees and insects and destroyed soil.
Contact with chemicals pollutes the environment, affects the health of workers and, last but not least, affects consumers whose skin comes into direct contact with the jeans. Another big problem is the immense water consumption when growing conventional cotton. Depending on the irrigation method, an incredible 7,000 liters are needed to produce just one pair of jeans. These are some of the main arguments for wearing organic cotton jeans. When growing organic cotton, natural fertilizers are used and not chemical ones. By avoiding pesticides, the soil can store water better, which means that water consumption is lower with organic cotton.
Another advantage of organic cotton is that it produces seeds from which new plants can grow. This multiple use is not possible with genetically modified seeds because they are destroyed through the use of chemicals. Walkiddy only uses organic cotton, including jeans, of course! Modern forms of washing are used so that nature, the worker and the wearers of the jeans are not harmed. Washing with oxygen uses significantly less water and energy. Walkiddy jeans are available for little ones in the form of denim trousers, denim shorts, denim skirts and denim dresses made from the slightly softer material jersey denim.
