At Tomorrow Denim, we exclusively work with more sustainable materials such as 100% organic cotton, pre-consumer recycled cotton, and recycled polyester. 

From the very first step of our jeans’ lifecycle, we reduce our environmental impact by choosing organic cotton, which is naturally grown without synthetic additives or pesticides. This makes it better for the local farmers, biodiversity, and the health of water and soil.  Organic cotton also conserves significantly more water compared to conventional cotton. Our organic cotton is certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and the Organic Content Standard 100 (OCS 100).

Pre-consumer recycled cotton is made from manufacturing waste, including scraps, rejects, and trimmings that have been given new life and repurposed. Recycled cotton requires less water and energy to produce, making it a great choice as it repurposes materials that would otherwise be discarded.

Our recycled polyester, called Elastomultiester, is made from leftover polymers and used PET bottles. We blend this polyester with cotton in many of our jeans due to its elasticity properties, providing a stable stretch with good recovery. This prevents the jeans from sagging at the knees or becoming larger over time, allowing them to be washed less frequently and worn for longer periods.

Our denim fabrics are sourced from ISKO, the world's leading denim supplier, and are certified according to the Nordic Swan Ecolabel and the EU Ecolabel. These certifications proof that the fabric is free from harmful toxins, chemicals, dyes, and restricted substances (both MSRL and RSL). This ensures that our textiles are ecologically safe and healthy for humans.

Our brand patch is vegan and cruelty-free, as we have replaced leather with a FSC-certified paper badge. 

The zippers, buttons, and rivets are OEKO-TEX 100 certified and tested for cadmium and nickel to ensure they are non-allergenic. All hangtags are made from FSC-certified paper. 

Every component of a Tomorrow garment is thoroughly tested and certified by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel and the EU Ecolabel.

Compared to conventional manufacturing, we significantly reduce water usage throughout the production of a Tomorrow garment. Reducing water consumption also means reducing energy use.  

We save considerable amounts of water during agriculture and fabric production by exclusively using organic cotton and employing new technologies like ozone wash and e-flow. Ozone wash involves lightly wetting the unwashed jeans with about one glass of water per garment, and then oxidizing the indigo with ozone gas. This process ensures up to 95% savings in both water and energy during washing. 

We have a strict wastewater program to make sure we don’t contaminate water. By avoiding any toxic or hazardous chemicals during production, our wastewater is as clean as possible. In our laundry processes, wastewater is purified in specialized units and recycled until it can no longer be reused. When it is no longer sufficient for denim production, the wastewater is sent to an infrastructure system where it is purified again before being used for irrigation and agriculture.

Our denim supplier uses solar energy, which significantly reduces energy consumption compared to conventional methods. By employing new technologies in the production phase, we increase efficiency by eliminating certain steps, thus saving energy. We do not use laser machines, a common process in denim production, as they consume a lot of kilowatts, emit large amounts of CO2, and burn fibers into nanoparticles that contaminate ocean life.

During garment production, we cycle all production waste to recycling companies. They collect it from the garment factory, process it into fibers, and return it to fabric manufacturers.

Wastewater is purified and recycled repeatedly until it can no longer be used for washing.

Throughout all stages of our products' life cycle, we adhere to International Labour Organization (ILO) standards, which prohibit child labor, forced labor, gender discrimination, and ensure fair wages and safe working conditions throughout the entire value chain. 

All our suppliers are audited by Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) and comply with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel and the EU Ecolabel. 

Our Garment Manufacturer/ Extended Family 

We work exclusively with one garment factory, and we could not have achieved what we have without them. They are our colleagues and an extended part of our work family, just like everyone working at our HQ in Denmark. As part of our close relationship, we have employed a production team working at the factory, allowing us to stay closely connected and manage our value chain on-site.

The factory is committed to empowering women, not only by employing them but also by providing educational opportunities to help women advance to management positions.

The Working Conditions

The factory is a responsible manufacturer that provides its employees a work environment high above legal requirements. There are installed updated lighting, ventilation, and ergonomic improvements, using the latest technologies such as LED bus bars for electrical fittings, overhead mirror reflectors for lamps, and forced duct ventilation and so on.

Clearly demarcated emergency routes and exits, smoke and fire detectors, and thoughtfully designed work layouts ensure a safe workplace for all workers.

In accordance with ISO requirements, instructions and warning signs are posted in highly visible places inside the factory and in the local language (Turkish).

Additionally, the use of metal gloves during fabric cutting, needle guards during sewing, and similar safety procedures significantly reduces work-related accidents in the factory.

Beyond safety, the workplace fosters a postive and supporting environment for everyone: managerial staff and workers collaborate with mutual respect. The factory not only empowers women by recruiting more, but also by undertaking assertive programs to train and promote women to higher positions.
