Recycling Stories
“India has a strong culture of recycling. The life of a t-shirt may start at a party, move on to a casual outing, to nightwear, eventually used in the Holi festival of colors, and then finally, a mop to clean the floor!
This recycling is evident in the apparel industry as well. A lot of companies recycle fabric wastes to create accessories, jewelry and patched one-of-a-kind garments. Doodlage, a brand started by Kriti Tula in 2012, creates clothing from textile waste. Tula goes around buying scraps from fabric manufacturers and crafts them into one-of-a-kind clothes which have been showcased at international shows.
Chindi, literally meaning “scraps,” is another brand that uses fabric scraps from the garment-making process and crafts them into toilet kits, yoga bags, tote bags, and small clutches.”
