Madewell has launched a sustainable denim collection that uses shrimp shells in the dying process. The shells are taken as waste from the food industry, processed by the Italian company Candiani and sold as "Kitotex" for dying textiles. The chitosan in the shells helps to bind dyes to fabric and reduces the use of chemicals by 65% as well as the use of water by 75%. The dyed fabric is processed in a factory that recycles 100% of its water and turns manufacturing waste into bricks for affordable housing.
