Today, less than 50% of India’s textile waste is reused, repaired or recycled (DownToEarth). With the global apparel industry expected to produce 50% more carbon emissions by 2030 according to a report by Quantis International, the time to act is now. The development of circular sourcing models has been gaining speed in the past few years and many innovative textile waste management models are currently being piloted. Find out more about textile waste management from our leader Astha Khubele who is the Associate Lead of Circular Textiles at Saahas Zero Waste. Her work has been instrumental in the development of textile waste management systems to manage post-consumer textile waste and convert it into second-life products.
