They use natural dyes, recycled materials, and energy-efficent manufacturing processes to create high-quality jeans that are not only fashionable but also environmentally responsable. Overall, the visit to EREKS was an eye-opening experience for the consortium, and it highlited the importance of sustainability in the textile industry. It also showcased the impressive work that companies like EREKS are doing to address this issue and create a more sustainable future for the industry.
