    About the conference

    Textile recycling gives old clothes and fabric waste a second life — collected, sorted, processed and remade into new fibre.

    The question in this room

    How does India scale textile recycling — from factory scrap all the way to fibre-to-fibre?

    Why it matters

    India is one of the world’s largest sources of textile waste, and most of it is already being sorted and traded.

    7.8million tonnes

    of textile waste generated in India every year.

    8.5% of the world’s textile waste
    59%reused or recycled

    of it is reused or recycled within India today.

    42%from factories

    is pre-consumer waste (offcuts and rejects), the cleanest stream to recover.

    In plain words

    Giving old clothes a second life

    Textile recycling takes old clothes, fabric scraps and textile waste and turns them into something useful again — instead of the dustbin or landfill.

    1. 01Collected

      Used clothes, uniforms and factory offcuts are gathered.

    2. 02Sorted

      Separated by fibre — cotton, polyester, blends — colour and quality.

    3. 03Processed

      Cleaned, de-trimmed and broken down for recycling.

    4. 04Remade

      Turned into new fibres, threads, fabric or products.

    Route AMechanical recycling

    Old clothes are shredded and turned into new fibres — like new yarn from old cotton T-shirts.

    or
    Route BChemical recycling

    The fabric is broken down to its chemical building blocks and rebuilt into high-quality new fibre.

    Know the language

    A short glossary so first-timers and specialists start from the same page.

    GRS

    Global Recycled Standard — certifies recycled content and responsible production.

    RCS

    Recycled Claim Standard — verifies the percentage of recycled material in a product.

    Fibre-to-fibre

    Turning old textiles into new fibre for new fabric — not lower-value rags or stuffing.

    Feedstock

    Sorted, cleaned used textiles ready for a recycling plant.

    Post-industrial waste

    Waste from manufacturing — offcuts, yarn waste, defective fabric.

    Post-consumer waste

    Clothes and home textiles discarded after use.
