The life cycle of a jean. Understanding the environmental impact of a pair of Levi’s 501 jeans.

A Levi Strauss & Co. study, initiated in 2013, looked at three products: a pair of Levi’s® 501® jeans, a pair of Levi’s® Women’s jeans, and a pair of Dockers® Signature Khakis. This latest study benefitsed from the latest advancements in life cycle assessment scientific methods, tools and data collection processes and gives greater insight into the two biggest impact areas (cotton cultivation and consumer care) by expanding the scope of data collected.

This presentation dives deeply into the findings related to a pair of Levi’s® 501® medium stone wash jeans. The goal is that these findings will help LS&Co. and others in the apparel sector take more effective and holistic approaches to our industry’s environmental impact.
