Sustainability is soon becoming a code name and a mission in almost every business. While Larry Fink, Ellen Macarthur, Greta Thunberg speak of sustainability, H&M launches its ‘Conscious Collection’, to support sustainability in fashion. Today with this trend and growing awareness about sustainability in fashion industry – Green is the new Black!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scale of the global textile industry is enormous. It produces upwards of 100 billion pieces of clothing every year, represents 3% of the world\u2019s GDP and employs around 75 million people. Sadly it also creates 84% of textile waste that is sent to landfills at a cost of USD 3.7 billion every year. This scale of wastage has created an urgent need to recycle textiles and help reduce continued damage to the planet. Further, the EU Legislation 2019, has become stricter and has imposed a circular system instead of the existing linear system to deal with textile waste. Under Article 9(1d), Article 11 (1), and Article 11 (6), it encourages the re-use of textile products along with other measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
