Solving Bengaluru's used textile waste problem

Описание: At the Textile Recovery Facility in Hirandahalli in Bengaluru, used clothes from several wards are brought there. All the clothes are upcycled, recycled, downcycled and resold. And importantly, none of them ends up in landfills.

TRF is part of a larger attempt to create a value chain for post-consumer textile waste while weaving into it alternate livelihood possibilities for waste pickers.  

Circular Apparel Innovation Factory or CAIF (an Intellecap initiative) and Hasiru Dala, an NGO, in partnership with Saamuhika Shakti – a not-for-profit initiative that brings together multiple organisations to empower the informal waste picker community – have been working to see if they could introduce systems and processes for the same. 

We look at the various stages in this process, starting from when used clothes are collected from homes. #bengaluru #textile #wasterecycling
