NEW YORK - The Transformers Foundation nonprofit has released a new report updating its 2021 study of what it described as the cotton industry's "misinformation problem".
Transformers Foundation, which aims to encourage a more responsible denim industry, built on Ecotextile News' own 'Busting Myths' investigation in its first report, 'Cotton: A Case Study in Misinformation'.
It argued that virtually every common claim about cotton production was false or misleading, including that it requires 20,000 litres of water to make a T-shirt and a pair of jeans, and that cotton uses a quarter of all insecticides.
