In today's fashion industry, the sustainability of garment washing processes especially denim washing is unquestionably an important issue. A garment's design and aesthetic appeal have a big impact on how consumers opt to purchase. Denim enthusiasts now have a variety of alternatives, such as eco-denim initiatives, zero water technologies, oxygen and ozone washes, advanced and organic denim, and less harmful fabric dyeing and washing practices. Many of these choices may not be as environmentally friendly as they are advertised to be, though regardless of their marketing commitments. The goal of this research paper is to contrast the three traditional washing methods such as dark, medium, and light washes with their sustainable counterparts. The present research provides a detailed comparison of traditional and sustainable washing methods, highlighting their advantages and drawbacks. While both approaches can produce the about same appearances for the apparels, sustainable washing works out to be more effective, saving at least 25 minutes per wash. Sustainable light washing saves water consumption an additional 3.9 L/Kg garments, while medium and dark washing saves 14.44 L/Kg and 19.4 L/Kg garments. When compared to traditional washes, sustainable washes have reduced consumption of energy and chemical impact scores. Conventional methods of washings (35 for light, 42 for medium, and 49 for dark wash) have more EIM (Environmental Impact Measurement) score in a comparison to sustainable washing (14 for light, 21 for medium, and 23 for dark wash). It also indicates that environmentally friendly and more efficient washing practices are feasible. This provides an excellent illustration of how crucial ethical choices are. An environmental impact score of more than 66, as determined by the EIM software evaluation, is considered to be harmful to the environment whereas 0–33 indicates low effect, and 34–66 indicates medium impact.
