We had some spoken some time ago, denouncing the behavior of many companies producing jeans, but today - after the report made by the "Hyenas" and taken up by many press organs - the theme of sandblasting, or sandblasting (the chemical discoloration of Jeans and pants), is back more in vogue than before.
The site of the Clean Clothes Campaign, which has long been fighting for fashion companies to put jeans and trousers on the market without the sandblasting process (i.e. the discoloration of fabrics carried out with substances that enter the lungs of workers, causing them serious and incurable occupational diseases as the silicosis) highlights that “there are still some brands, such as Dolce & Gabbana e Roberto Cavalli, who continue to refuse the comparison with the Clean Clothes Campaign “.
On the other hand, after the bad impression made during the service, the Roberto Cavalli group (after the service of the Hyenas) hastened to disclose a note in which he affirms that the company "confirms, as communicated for some time now and even recently , from do not use the sandblasting process".
Will it really be like this?
As confirmed by the Clean Clothes Campaign, the renunciation of confrontation and perseverance in the use of these harmful production methods highlights "an attitude far from corporate responsibility that would provide for an immediate taking on of the problem that affects thousands of workers at risk".
In short, the problem affects everyone: companies and consumers, control bodies and workers.
But while waiting for the fashion houses to be convinced to respect the life and health of those who work for them, wouldn't it be appropriate to start boycotting these products, avoiding buying faded jeans?
