Stella McCartney to release biodegradable denim in May 2020

The British designer Stella McCartney will be releasing biodegradable denim in May 2020 with a special collection for its Autumn/Winter 2020 collection. The development and release of this type of denim is in part of McCartney’s commitment to the sustainable fabrics innovation.

The fashion industry as a whole has been addressing the issue of how large of a carbon footprint the fashion industry leaves. Many brands are working to manufacture and create their pieces in a more environment friendly way. McCartney utilizes the Coreva Stretch Technology along with using plant-based yarns to create her biodegradable denim.

When denim is made using the Coreva Stretch Technology it is safe and toxic-free compared to the normal way to produce jeans. There is no use of toxic dyes or chemicals to make one pair of jeans. The Coreva Stretch Technology uses organic cotton wrapped around a rubber core and uses less water consumption. McCartney furthered her sustainable efforts by teaming up with Candiani to have the denim pieces made from plant-based yarns. This utilizes a renewable resource while also maintaining the denim’s biodegradable and compostable material.
