General information
- Short Summary
- Indian textile waste recycling/repurposing company looking for collaborators in foreign markets
- Full Description
- We are a post-consumer textile waste management organization based in Mumbai. We work with the Waghri community by enabling their trade of 2nd hand clothing in India. Our aim is to scale the use of second hand clothing, finding new life to post consumer textile waste.
- Advantages and Innovations
-
The present situation focuses on the main environmental problems caused by the textile & fashion industry including Water pollution, Air pollution, Solid waste pollution and Climate change. The fashion industry has some startling statistics on environmental degradation. Around 20% of industrial water pollution in the world comes from treatment and dyeing of textiles. Hence a new approach to the production, consumption and disposal of apparel has become absolutely necessary.
Our initiatives will save the vanishing trade system of the Devipujak (waghari) community who were practicing barter trade for six decades who collect used clothes against brand new utensils in metropolitan cities in India. We can translate a similar barter system ethos into new markets.
This is a true living Circular Economy Trade Model as well as sustainable solutions for the post consumer textile waste and fashion industry. This provides clothes in good condition to poor people at a very very cheap price in weekly Markets. - Stage of Development
