This webcast will showcase how Levi Strauss & Co. have created jeans
that are on the leading edge of design and style, but also are made in a
way that reduces the environmental impact of the manufacturing
process. The average pair of jeans uses 42 liters of water in the finishing
process, which is the washing and drying technique used to achieve
many different looks. By driving innovation in their jeans production
cycle, the company have created Water<Less™ jeans, which reduce the
water consumption by an average of 28% and up to 96%.
As a manufacturer of carpet tiles, an industry which sends nearly half a
million tonnes of waste to landfill each year, InterfaceFLOR has made
serious headway in cutting waste. Their pledge is to have zero waste to
landfill by 2020 (as part of their ultimate ‘Mission Zero’ goal for zero
environmental impact by 2020). Learn about the company’s waste
initiatives in this webinar.
This webinar will walk you through the new French legislation aiming to
make environmental labels on all consumer products manufactured in

will include environmental impacts most relevant to the product, such as
water use, biodiversity and toxicity. The presentation will describe the
aims and outcomes of the “Grenelle de l’Environnement” round table,
with emphasis on the proposed mandatory environmental labelling in
France.
Scotland has adopted a world-leading approach to measuring recycling
performance with its new carbon metric. This webinar will highlight the
background and methodology underpinning the creation of the Carbon
Metric for Scotland, which allows strategic decisions to be made about
the end of life choices for materials and products based on their
environmental impact, measured in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.
