Our “Planet� rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate E.L.V. Denim “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including upcycled materials.

  • To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
