Welcome back to the first show, of Season 4!

We are delighted to bring you a conversation with Eva Engelen & Lander Desmedt from the truly circular Fashion Brand, HNST (pronounced Honest).

The team at HNST are working extremely hard, trying to create a Denim based collection as sustainable and as circular as possible.

Cotton is often called a thirsty crop, for which inefficient farming and irrigation techniques are to blame. A conventional pair of jeans requires on average 3 kg of raw cotton and consequentially, 7000 litres of water. HNST jeans contain 56% recycled cotton, 23% Greek cotton and 21% Tencel.

As a result they only require 361 litres of water per pair, which means we are reducing water consumption with 95%, compared with industry standards.

Our conversation delves into the entire production process as well as the inherent values that the company has for full corporate transparency and doing things, honestly.
