DWIJ's IMPACT
Every year, India drowns under the weight of 7,800 kilotonnes of textile waste, mountains of discarded fabric that tell stories of fast fashion's devastating impact. In this sea of excess, post-consumer jeans and industrial denim scraps also pile up in landfills, releasing methane and carbon dioxide as they slowly decompose, contributing to our planet's climate crisis.
Through our circular design philosophy and commitment to upcycling, dwij has achieved something remarkable: we've saved 10 lakh kilograms of CO2 from entering our atmosphere.
To put this in perspective:
- It's equivalent to taking 883 electric-powered passenger vehicles off the road for an entire year
- or planting 16,535 tree seedlings and nurturing them for a full decade
Every piece we create doesn't just carry the memory of its denim past, it carries the promise of a cleaner future. When you choose dwij, you're not just buying a product; you're participating in a movement that proves waste isn't the end of the story, it's the beginning of a better one.
