Drop your old or broken jeans at the KIOSK!

The denim industry thus produces a lot of waste and has a huge ecological footprint. European Spinning Group (ESG) wanted to find a way to reduce this textile waste through reuse and upcycling. ESG succeeded in spinning yarn from discarded denim, which is marketed under the name ESG Green Collection. As a firm believer in circular design, ESG started the #hackyourjeans community for a more sustainable textile and fashion industry.

To launch the initiative, this month in Kortrijk you can learn more about #hackyourjeans at two locations and deposit your own old or broken jeans for reuse.
At the KIOSK there is a collection container where you can deposit your jeans. The collected jeans are made into new yarn which is then used for new products such as new jeans, towels or napkins.

You can discover these products in the K shopping centre in Kortrijk. 15 partners (mainly from West Flanders) show their products made from recycled jeans:
