Launched Back to Nature jeans

An additional sustainably produced product offering available in select markets included Back to Nature, a jean that is compostable. Lee’s range of biodegradable denim products, Back to Nature jeans, are made from 100 percent cotton. When the jeans and jackets reach the end of their useful life, the metal buttons can be unscrewed and reused, and the remaining component products can be composted at home.

The guidelines reduce waste associated with denim production, establish requirements for jean durability and recyclability, and are based on the principles of a circular economy.
