MYTH vs FACT | Textile Waste
Textile waste isn’t always the end of the journey.
With the right approach, it can become a resource for something new.
From reuse and recycling to repurposing, textile waste can find new applications depending on the material and its potential.
Because the end of one textile can be the start of another.

India is more than a destination, it is a journey through living traditions, timeless crafts and stories woven across every region.
This World Tourism Day, travel beyond the landmarks and discover the rich textile heritage that makes every place uniquely Indian.
Every state. Every region. A different tradition. A different expression.
