Denim Deal Brings Its Circular Mission to France
Denim Deal, the industry-leading initiative committed to driving circularity in denim established in Amsterdam in 2020, is expanding its reach in Europe.
The public and private organization is launching in France, an initiative that targets all players across the French textile supply chain including brands, collection agencies, recyclers and weavers. Denim Deal France aims to promote the integration of post-consumer recycled cotton, strengthen traceability and encourage more responsible production practices across the French supply chain.

Denim Deal will kick off the effort on March 27 with an event at The Netherlands Embassy in Paris. The event will review Denim Deal's goals, the advantages of joining the collective, testimonials from participants and conversations with industry experts.
The event will also highlight the environmental benefits of building circularity into manufacturing processes and how circularity can be achieved without sacrificing durability and quality.
'France is a strategic market for our collaborative platform, building on our success in the Netherlands. With its dynamic denim industry and diverse range of retailers and brands, France presents a unique opportunity for growth. Additionally, the country is at the forefront of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and EU regulations, making it an ideal environment for us to explore and address the operational implications of these regulations with our partners in the industry,' Nicolas Prophte, Denim Deal board member, told SJ Denim.
Originally known as the Dutch C-233 Green Deal on Circular Denim, Denim Deal was a pact made between mills, manufacturers, brands and the city of Amsterdam in 2020 to increase the industry's use of recycled content. It ended in 2023 exceeding its goal of producing 3 million pairs of jeans with at least 20 percent post-consumer recycled content.
The initiative has evolved, driven by a renewed strategy that involves establishing key regional hubs. With a new goal to produce 1 billion pairs of jeans containing at least 20 percent PCR by 2030, Denim Deal is focused on growing brand memberships, as they're in the driver seat to achieve its goal.
'We are confident that our expansion strategy, starting with France and extending to Germany, will create a resilient platform in Europe. Together, we can tackle significant challenges related to circular business models and compliance with EU regulations while simultaneously offering consumers a desirable pair of jeans,' Prophte said.
In September, the organization released its first list of members (mostly denim mills) since spinning off from the Dutch framework. It also unveiled a collection of Denim Deal approved fabrics that contain a minimum of 20 percent PCR cotton and adhere to the group's guidelines for quality and durability.

EUWAX's (FRA:EUX) Dividend Will Be €3.26
EUWAX Aktiengesellschaft (FRA:EUX) will pay a dividend of €3.26 on the 1st of August. Based on this payment, the dividend yield on the company's stock will be 9.0%, which is an attractive boost to shareholder returns. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. While it is great to have a strong dividend yield, we should also consider whether the payment is sustainable. Before making this announcement, the company's dividend was much higher than its earnings. It will be difficult to sustain this level of payout so we wouldn't be confident about this continuing. Earnings per share could rise by 6.8% over the next year if things go the same way as they have for the last few years. If the dividend continues on its recent course, the payout ratio in 12 months could be 271%, which is a bit high and could start applying pressure to the balance sheet. See our latest analysis for EUWAX While the company has been paying a dividend for a long time, it has cut the dividend at least once in the last 10 years. There hasn't been much of a change in the dividend over the last 10 years. It's encouraging to see some dividend growth, but the dividend has been cut at least once, and the size of the cut would eliminate most of the growth anyway, which makes this less attractive as an income investment. With a relatively unstable dividend, it's even more important to evaluate if earnings per share is growing, which could point to a growing dividend in the future. We are encouraged to see that EUWAX has grown earnings per share at 6.8% per year over the past five years. However, the payout ratio is very high, not leaving much room for growth of the dividend in the future. Overall, we don't think this company makes a great dividend stock, even though the dividend wasn't cut this year. The payments are bit high to be considered sustainable, and the track record isn't the best. We would be a touch cautious of relying on this stock primarily for the dividend income. Investors generally tend to favour companies with a consistent, stable dividend policy as opposed to those operating an irregular one. At the same time, there are other factors our readers should be conscious of before pouring capital into a stock.

Bite club: Half sweet, half spicy: Olla Olla Crepes brings bold flavors to Capitol
If you're looking for something sweet, savory or a little of both, a crepe restaurant near the Capitol is just the ticket. State of play: Olla Olla Crepes, which opened its brick-and-mortar restaurant at 17th Avenue and Van Buren Street last May, serves "French sweet & savory crepes with a Mexican twist," per the restaurant's website. Flashback: The eatery's origins date to 2017, when founder Lyndelle Sanjuanero Puente and a friend started selling crepes to fundraise for their sorority. Puente decided to turn the venture into a full-fledged business in 2019, but she put things on hold when the pandemic hit. After struggling with personal hardships, she launched her business in 2022, selling crepes at the corner in front of her sister's house at 53rd Avenue and Camelback Road. The creperie shared spaces with other businesses until she officially put down roots last year. Zoom in: Olla Olla Crepes has a variety of unique offerings, including dessert, breakfast and even pizza crepes. There's also a selection of decadent drinks, like red velvet coffee and strawberry horchata with whipped cream. Best bites: I couldn't decide whether to go sweet or savory. Fortunately, this restaurant appeals to my indecision because they let you go halfsies. On one side I went with a classic, which has strawberries, bananas, lechera and Nutella. On the other, I got a green enchilada crepe. The classic was familiar and delicious, a conventional but delectably sweet treat. More unusual, but still great, was the savory side, which had the spicy zing you'd expect from a good enchilada.
