Recovery of used jeans in Quebec
Producing a single traditional pair of jeans requires nearly 10,000 liters of water and half a kilo of chemicals. Buying new jeans can therefore contribute to current environmental problems. That's why collecting used jeans is a sustainable solution to extend their lifespan and usefulness.
Collection of used jeans in Québec
Since 2022, Marie fil has been collecting used jeans to give them a second life. By reusing jeans to make eco-friendly placemats. We then return the vast majority to the company Délycastef located in Québec. Jeans are their raw material for eco-responsible creations. Collaboration between eco-friendly businesses is essential. This way, we support the local economy while minimizing transportation and the purchase of new materials. Whether your jeans are torn or worn, we can collect them — the important thing is that they are clean!
Labor for textile recovery of jeans
Recovering textile materials greatly reduces the cost of raw materials in our creations. However, every eco-responsible action often requires an investment of time. In the case of jean recovery, it significantly increases the time invested in the product. Marie fil therefore dedicates its team to the environment.
