The retail giant’s new denim promotion begins in August and here’s what you need to know.

One of the ways recycled denim gets used is in building insulation. There is more info here:

One quality of recycled denim insulation is that it is excellent at absorbing and damping sounds. People looking for high quality audio in their vehicles swear by denim.

** I tried to pick the least spamy source for additional more info. If you have a better source please post.

    Rather than give your old jeans to Target, maybe consider sewing/having them sewn into a blanket. Old denim makes a great outer layer on a blanket, with a softer inner layer. Thin and warm in winter but cool to the touch.

      I would gladly give my used denim to a non-profit that does this. Currently have a pair of jeans that are end-of-life for me and I don’t sew.
