The Water Cost of New Manufacturing

Textile and furniture production are among the most water-intensive industries globally. For instance, producing a single pair of new denim jeans can require up to 2,000 gallons of water, from cotton irrigation to the dyeing and finishing process. When your customers choose a consigned item, they are directly preventing that massive water expenditure. This calculator helps you visualize and share these significant savings with your community.
