Kapda Karo Recycle (KKR)

Hello, Conscious Consumer! Ever wondered where your old clothes end up? Most likely in landfills, polluting our environment. But we’ve found a better way! I’m excited to share that after a year of research and development, we’ve successfully created bricks from recycled textile waste (#RTW). This breakthrough not only prevents waste but also promotes #sustainability and the #circulareconomy. ?? Did you know? India generates millions of tons of #textilewaste every year, yet only 10% is recycled. With no government mandate for #textilerecycling, the issue keeps growing. That’s why I always say, "The next #plasticwaste crisis is #textilewaste!" ?? What can you do? ? Be responsible with your #clothes—don’t let them end up in landfills. ? Avoid selling to the #unorganizedmarket, where waste often goes unmanaged. ? Donate your #textilewaste to us, and let’s work together for a cleaner planet! ?? Let’s turn waste into something valuable and build a #sustainablefuture!

Before Recycling, Think About Rebirth!???? ?? "Recycling isn’t just about reducing waste; it’s about giving materials a chance to rebirth into new, sustainable products." This image highlights the power of #innovation—#recycledfibers and materials reborn into meaningful and #sustainableproducts. Whether it’s #textilewaste or other resources, every step toward a #circulareconomy ?? helps fight #climatechange and build a #sustainablefuture.?? Let’s rethink waste as an opportunity and create a world where every material gets a second life. ??????

Textile Waste Recycling: A Big Step to Protect Our Planet ?? Textile waste recycling is an important way to help protect our environment, and at Kapda Karo Recycle (KKR), we are committed to making a real difference: 1. Less Harmful Cotton Farming: Recycled fibres can replace cotton, which is harmful to the environment and contributes to 10% of greenhouse gas emissions from farming. 2. Supports Circular Economy: Recycling textiles helps create a circular system where products are reused, reducing waste and the need for new materials. 3. Creates Green Jobs: The recycling industry creates jobs that benefit the environment and contribute to building a more sustainable economy. 4. Opportunities for Innovation: Innovators can create new products from recycled fibres, opening doors to exciting and sustainable solutions. 5. Reduces Landfills and Pollution: Recycling keeps textile waste out of landfills and prevents harmful burning practices that pollute the air. At Kapda Karo Recycle, we believe that recycling textile waste is a powerful way to protect our planet and build a more sustainable future. Let’s work together to make a lasting change! ??
