Info Water consumption by the textile industry
4% of the world's drinking water is used to produce our clothes
On average, it takes 10,000 liters of water to produce 1 kilo of cotton, or 2,500 to 3,000 liters for a classic t-shirt (250 to 300 grams of cotton). A lot of water consumption for a small piece of fabric!
