Summary: DETOXING DENIM. The environmental organization Greenpeace found a large number of hazardous chemicals polluting rivers near two of Mexico’s biggest denim factories, Lavamex in Aguascalientes, and Kaltex in Querétaro. Both companies have relationships with jeans giants such as Levi’s, Gap, Calvin Klein, and Guess. Some companies have signed agreements with the environmentalists to clean up their act.
