The dirtiest item in fast fashion sits in most of our closets. With its use of cotton, chemicals, pesticides, and indigo dyes, denim has been making its mark on the environment for decades. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Changemakers in the fashion industry are disrupting the denim space. Brands like MUD Jeans are choosing recycled and organic cotton and leading the way in circular, sustainable production.

We've talked to fashion industry leaders about how to reduce textile waste, what to do with unwanted clothes, how to shift from linear to circular fashion, and more. Today, we're taking sustainable fashion a step further to talk all about denim production.

Laura Vicaria is the corporate social responsibility (CSR) manager at the first circular denim company, MUD Jeans. On The Social Entrepreneurship and Innovation Podcast, Cory and Laura discuss the challenges and opportunities of producing sustainable denim. In this post, we'll cover how MUD Jeans is leading the way for eco-friendly fashion, and we'll learn Laura's tips for sustainable denim production.

In our Episode with Laura, we discuss:

The problem with denim production
The environmental impact of demin
Can denim be sustainable?
