BLUE GOING GREEN: Donate Your Old Denim


Turn you old denim into eco-friendly insulation

One pair on denim jeans can change the world!

Who knew that your old denim jeans which take up closet space can be used to create eco-friendly insulation for homes? The Cotton. For Blue To Green drive was created in 2006 inspired by college students to help educate other coeds about the natural renewable and recyclable attributes of denim. As of date, the Cotton.For Blue To Green has created approximately 540 homes from all the jeans donated to their organization. From fashion to "Green", the denim gets processed to it's natural cotton fiber then returned to it's original fiber state and treated with a borate solution which provides exceptional thermal performance. Unlike the traditional insulation, this can be installed without gloves, contains no formaldehyde, is hypoallergenic and provides 30% more sound absorption.In addition, this is the only insulating product that contains an active mold/mildew inhibitor. Donating a pair of jeans will help communities in need of insulation for their homes. Make a difference today by visiting The Cotton.For Blue To Green Organization
