Vietnam, is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. With an estimated 94.6 million inhabitants
as of 2016, it is the world's 14th-most-populous country, and the ninth-most-populous Asian country.
Vietnam is bordered by China to the north, Laos to the northwest, Cambodia to the southwest,
Thailand across the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest, and the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia
across the South China Sea to the east and southeast. Its capital city has been Hanoi since the
reunification of North and South Vietnam in 1976, with Ho Chi Minh City as the most populous
city.

98% recyled water Saitex’s unique closed system recycles 98% of all water used—and when
it comes out the other side, it’s so clean you can drink it. How? They reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Standard denim manufacturers use “belly” washing machines, which waste as much as 1,500 liters
of water per pair of jeans.

Clean Waste
All denim creates a toxic byproduct called sludge, but at Saitex, the sludge is extracted and shipped to a nearby brick factory.
Mixed with concrete, the toxic material can no longer leech into the environment. The resulting
bricks are used to build affordable homes.
