I believe that India is a pioneer in providing the world solutions for all types of waste. What with its age-old tradition of reuse, repair, repurpose, restore and recycle. What better example than textile to illustrate this in a country where any piece of cloth used to be repurposed endlessly.
I have been holding on to different types of waste for years, especially tailor waste that I could not resist picking up from my local tailors, conscious that it will end up in a landfill. Even my torn clothes were waiting in a cupboard for some kind of solution.
