WUR and G-Star develop trousers made from Dutch-grown cotton

June 06, 2024 – Wageningen University & Research and clothing manufacturer G-Star have jointly developed a pair of trousers made entirely from cotton grown in Dutch greenhouses. The project aims for the most sustainable clothing production possible. According to WUR researcher Filip van Noort cotton cultivation in greenhouses results in a production increase of five to 23 times and significantly less water usage (95%) thanks to the reuse of (rain)water. Additionally, no chemical pesticides have been used.
