Artistic Denim Mills aims for a green supply chain

Artistic Denim Mills (ADM) aims at 100 per cent sustainability through the entire supply chain. By partnering globally recognized brands and manufacturers, ADM creates sustainable, ethical raw materials and earth-friendly fabrics that meet a wide variety of demands, such as the comfortable and sculpting properties of four-way stretch. An early pioneer of liquid dye technology featuring less sulfide contents than traditional dyes, the company is selective about the chemicals it uses, choosing those deemed to have a minimal impact on the environment, its employees and consumers.

For example, ADM exclusively uses pre-reduced indigo, decreasing its chemical use by 70 per cent when stacked against conventional denim factories. Rather than distressing denim with harmful chemicals and labor-intensive hand sanders, the company employs computerized laser technology to provide those unique fading patterns the fabric is known for. These lasers also have the added benefit of reducing the use of stones and chlorine during wet processing.

ADM makes denim that’s aniline-free—a non-toxic way of producing the traditional, iconic indigo blue that consumers associate with denim and jeans. Aniline appears on the restricted substance lists of some major clothing brands and retailers. To lessen denim’s impact on the planet and to help create a circular economy in textiles, ADM also uses pre-consumer recycled cotton fibers.
