What is the manufacturing process for jeans?

Here is the step which is involved in the manufacturing of the jeans.

•  Dyeing

Traditionally jeans were made in the colour blue by adding the Indigo dye to them. Because of which approximately more than 20,000 units of dyes were produced yearly for consumption.

•  Pre-shrinking

These were made in 1962, and these jeans did not have to be shrunken down after they were made. This meant that the customer did not have to wash the jeans to shrink them more.

•  Used and distressed looks

Used means to wash the jeans using a chemical called acid wash powder or and other powder. The Distressed look means the tearing of jeans from some places to make them look stylish.

•  Sandblasting

Consumers who order special jeans are made by rubbing them with sandpaper to give them a good finish. Sandblasting is done by either washing it with chemicals or rubbing it with sandpaper.

•  The environmental or humanitarian impact

This means that an average pair of jeans takes around 919 gallons of water during its whole life cycle. The production of jeans without sandblasting or washing them can cause degradation in quality. Also, you will have to treat the waste jeans more carefully as they can create clogs or hazards if not handled properly.

Most of the jeans which are not used anymore are thrown in a shredder and made into small pieces. That is done to avoid any blockage or clogging it will make after it is thrown in the sewage or waste line.
