38,32,50,000 kgs of waste stays out of landfills each year thanks to our informal waste pickers. This #WorldEnvironmentDay, let's recognise the impact and contribution of our #InvaluableRecyclers in doing the important job of reducing the burden on our landfills. 💚 Check 'The Happy Number' song celebrating their critical role in the circular economy: youtu.be/rbPBh37oNFQ?si=k0yk…

As part of Fashion Revolution Week, Saamuhika Shakti partner Enviu Textiles joined hands with the Global Shapers #Bengaluru I Hub for Stitch in Time—an event that celebrated conscious fashion and upcycling. With support from partner @Hasiru_Dala, pre-loved clothes were sourced and reused, turning awareness into action. The @InvaluablesBLR ‘Got Old Clothes?’ by our partner @bbcmaIND was also introduced by Alisha Jain, Marketing & Communication, Enviu Textiles, sparking conversations on how to responsibly discard textile waste. Collaborations like these are sparking meaningful conversations, but can also support the livelihoods of waste pickers in Bengaluru!

This #EarthDay 🌍, let’s heed the call to take action! *Did you know: • 75% of household #TextileWaste from #Bengaluru is either landfilled or incinerated • At 7.2 million tonnes, it is one of the biggest waste items in India, of which, only 19% are recycled The sheer scale of this growing pollution demands urgent, systemic solutions - a solution Bengaluru is showing the world. Our partners in Saamuhika Shakti - @bbcmaIND, @Hasiru_Dala and @ApparelCircular - are working together to address the growing crisis of post consumer textile waste through an inclusive, circular model that does two things: • Reduces textile waste at the landfill, protect the environment • Whilst creating secure, dignified livelihoods for waste pickers ✨ Got Old Clothes?
