The company produces 20.000 pairs of jeans in one single day.<\/p>\n<p>The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world. But Saitex doesn\u2019t play by the same dirty rules.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Environmental and social frontrunner<\/h2>\n<p>The size itself may not make Saitex different than its competitors.

This is because denim brands always write their name on the label and not those of their suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t give the manufacturer much room to differentiate. But Saitex is in fact very different than its competitors.<\/p>\n<p>While Saitex has many state-of-the-art technologies and processes, a brand-made decision about the design could sometimes mean that a less sustainable process or denim finish needs to be used. A designer simply doesn\u2019t have the tools or data to make this choice.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-14\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis: 10.2%;\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image circle-photo\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5355\" src=\"https:\/\/ecochain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2019-11-05-at-16.35.04-150x150-1.png\" alt=\"Virginia Rollando Saitex\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis: 89.9%;\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em><strong>&#8222;We are trying to get our message out there.
