About Us
Maritaş • Denim • Textile
Maritaş Denim journey begins in 2004 with Maritaş Tekstil. The facility, which produced woven fabrics in the first period, added a denim production line to its production in 2013 and took the name Maritaş Denim.
MARİTAŞ DENİM sticks on the slogan “REJUVENATE DENIM”
We need a real rejuvenation of the denim production & products. It will bring about scientific innovations as well as cultural rejuvenation. These changes reflect the rejuvenation of denim production in this period. Denim rejuvenation must be a continuing process that triggers the act or process of making organizations and systems more effective by introducing new methods, ideas or people.
“Rejuvenate Denim” refers the real progress by building new classes of therapy to repair and reverse the known root causes of negative impacts. We are talking about a restoring the process, refreshing the sources, renewing people behaviours and regenerating the nature and products,
Regenerative cotton products will be the next step for our future collections.
Sustainable Stretch Solution
CYCLE-FX is the special combinationof fiber, spinning, weaving and finishing technics are all used together.
Maritaş Denim has been offering sustainable solutions to denim industry; it is a ground-breaking technology performing real circularity in stretch fabric segment.
It is a ground-breaking technology performing real circularity in stretch fabric segment.
High elasticity levels are achieved without using synthetic supportive yarns! Only cotton and elastane are combined and can be recycled 100%.
CYCLE-FX is new opportunity for fashion industry to produce “recyclable high stretch fabrics” with perfect recovery performance without having any single elasthane slippage problems.
Innovation by The Nature
Terra Denim is a product line where beautiful colors of nature meet with denim in a sustainable and effective way. Taking its roots from ancient times, the timeless TERRA DENIM collection bridges the past to the future. As Maritaş Denim, we adopt sustainable dyeing methods of ancient times, reinterpret them, and adapt them to the industrial scale. Behind the clay dyeing method used in TERRA DENIM, there is the idea of “from nature, for nature, and into nature”. Accordingly, this whole collection is harmless to the human and ecological environment, safe, and sustainable. Reflecting the color spectrum of nature, TERRA DENIM is a result of a dynamic natural process. Also, the products in collections are appropriate sustainable washing processes like ozone laser.
THE NEW FACE OF BULL DENIM
BULUE DENIM is located in between iconic indigo jeans and bull denim. Induced with new idea to get blue cast and authentic washdown effects on twills after laundry washes. Colors from silver with neutrals and cloudy blues giving an urban kind of look perfect way behind natural look with modernity.

Regenerative cotton products will be the next step for our future collections. The regenerative agriculture not only decreases the environmental impact but rejuvenate the nature and ecosystems. Regenerative materials are particular as a key part of climate strategies. Regenerative agricultural methods build soil health, allowing it to sequester carbon from the atmosphere while also generating other ecological benefits such as increased water retention and soil biodiversity. We recently joined and signed on a project with HARRAN University/URFA and registered farmers. The project will be held in HARRAN plain which is in the heart of South Eastern Turkey and one of the most important agricultural areas. We expect to receive cotton in 2023 and generate products accordingly. We plan to have a detailed research and report at the same time.
The report will research and report on challenges, benefits and understand/ develop best practices on regenerative cotton. It is also very important project to compare conventional cotton/regenerative cotton. We consider this project as a guide to sustainable and regenerative future of our industry.
DMZ 21 is abbreviation for Domuztepe, which is an archaeological excavation site in our motherland Kahramanmaras, BC7500 our ancestors settled and founded very first villages in Anatolia. These people were artist, engineers and designers we see that on pottery remains. One of the most important characteristic of Domuztepe was colored pottering, there are archers, dancers, buildings, animals and more. Almost on every pottery remain we found archaeologically important symbols shows nearly the same carvings on Göbeklitepe monoliths. We believe that same culture followed site to site.
This settlement gives us highly impressive clues about our roots, which are the reference points of the entire TERRA DENIM collection. Not only the pottery but also the colors and drawings on them show us the great potential hidden across these lands. The use of clay in these foundings has been our origin and we have used their genius guidance while innovating TERRA DENIM.
As Maritaş Denim, we are happy to sponsor the discovery in this land that has been waiting to announce its own story all this time with the TERRA X DMZ-21 Project.
In summary, most of the scenes in clay- painted motifs engraved on pots produced in the prehistoric settlement of Domuztepe will be seen as mythological gures in cuneiform documents after about 3-4 thousand years. In a way, Domuztepe gures are the beginning of mythology
“Tholos”, a Greek designation in archeology, symbolizes a type of building. Images of these buildings in Domuztepe were painted with clay paint on vases. Storks are mostly perched on the roofs of buildings. Migratory birds such as storks were very important to the people of that period in terms of showing the time of departure and return to the plateau.
Turn of the crane motifs depicted with clay paint were observed on the vases. In today’s Anatolian folklore, the rst examples of the dance scene include the turn of the crane called “Semah”.
The tree motif is another element frequently seen on Domuztepe vessels. It is understood that these trees, especially thin-leaved and singular, are “pine”, “juniper” and “birch”. This motif, which has a wide place in Anatolian and Middle Eastern mythologies and constitutes the rst examples of the Christmas Tree today, is seen for the rst time in Domuztepe as a clay paint decoration in Stone Age art.
The bull is the most frequently depicted animal of all ages. Bull heads, de ned as “bucrania” in archeology, were frequently used as paint decorations on clay pots of Domuztepe. It was the symbol of the “TENGRI”in Anatolian and Middle Eastern mythology.
Our efforts; to transfer the beauties of our planet to future generations, to achieve better social conditions, and to create circular economic systems. We have a strong team of environmental experts who work meticulously in our water treatment and energy recovery units, aiming to minimize water and energy consumption.
SPP Invesment
Our factory acts with the motto of 'production with renewable energy'. We have a SPP investment, which we plan to meet 36% of the electricity consumed in 2023.
Total amount of panels
Annual total electricity generation
Annual avoided greenhouse gas emissions
Rain Harvesting
Rain water falling on our 27,862 m² roof area has started to be collected with the rain harvesting project in 2023. We have a forecast to meet 3.5% of the water we use in production from rain water.
In Addition;
Factory water consumption

I-REC Standard
If a power plant producing from renewable energy sources is registered to the I-REC system, it can certify and sell the energy it produces. Businesses that are sensitive about sustainability receive this internationally valid certificate by paying a fee in order to reduce or eliminate the carbon emissions caused by the energy they use while producing goods or services and to achieve their sustainability goals.

We analyzed 11 parameter values, mainly global warming potential, ozone depletion, human toxicity, eutrophication by analyzing the life cycle assesment of our fabrics, for 1 m² of fabric.
Our product life cycle analysis study is in our sustainability journey;
It guides R&D and supply chain studies to reduce the global warming potential.
