One pair of stretch denim jeans of about 725 g, as Nudie Jeans made one style in 2017
This page shows what the product is made of and where each figure comes from. It shows no death toll. The toll is computed from this bill of materials from session 19, and published only once it has an uncertainty interval and has passed a backtest.
One pair of one style of Nudie Jeans, from a 2018 life-cycle study of the brand: 0.82 kg of denim cut, 0.11 kg of it spilled, with brass hardware, a paper waist tag and a woven label — about 725 g as sold. The laundry chemicals and pumice that finish the jeans are inputs that leave with the wash water. A single style from a single maker, so the grade is LOW.

The number this page does not show
The harm in this chain is not shown.
The model allocates the harm counted where each raw material is produced to the products that use it. That number is a count of people with a run behind it and no uncertainty interval yet, and nothing of that kind is published before the backtest of session 21. What this page can show without it is the structure: what the product is made of, and where each part of that knowledge comes from.
