The image illustrates the process of producing jeans from raw cotton. Overall, the process consists of three main stages, beginning with the cultivation and harvesting of cotton, followed by the production of denim fabric, and culminating in the global distribution of finished jeans.
The process starts in cotton fields, commonly located in Asian countries such as India and China where cotton plants are cultivated using water and chemicals. After approximately 160 days of growth, the mature cotton fibre is harvested and separated, ready for further processing.
Next, the raw fibre is transformed to a factory where it undergoes several treatments, including washing, bleaching, and dyeing. The processed fibre is then spun into yarn, and at this stage, elastane may be added to improve flexibility. This yarn is woven into denim fabric in a textile factory.
The denim is subsequently sent to another facility m, where it is cut and sewn into jeans. Buttons and zips are attached to complete the garments. The finished jeans are then shipped to trade centers, primarily in the USA and in Europe. Eventually, the products are sold to consumers through either online platforms or physical stores.
