The Jeans Redesign<\/a> <\/b>guidelines encourage leading brands, mills, and manufacturers to transform the way jeans are made. Based on the principles of a circular economy, they’re a blueprint for collective action to scale circular practices. To take part in the project, participants must specify how their jeans or fabric meet The Jeans Redesign Guidelines, and how they intend to accelerate progress against the Guidelines beyond the minimum requirements set out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In February 2019, Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Make Fashion Circular<\/a> brought together a group of industry experts in an intensive workshop, to collaboratively test and further develop a common vision of what good looks like for jeans. The result of this work is a set of Guidelines, co-developed with representatives from brands, manufacturers, fabric mills, collectors, recyclers, and academics, that define a starting point for the industry to design and produce jeans in accordance with the principles of a circular economy.<\/p>\n

The first version of The Jeans Redesign Guidelines \u2013 published in July 2019 \u2013 was based on four areas: durability, material health, recyclability, and traceability<\/b> and saw over 70 organisations create jeans in line with the principles of a circular economy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The second version of the Guidelines\u00a0<\/span>has been aligned with the three focus areas of the vision of a circular economy for fashion, published in 2020 by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation<\/a> with input from leading organisations across the fashion industry. Based on the three focus areas, jeans are designed to be used more, made to be made again, and made from safe and recycled or renewable inputs<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
