Our Sustainable Journey
The Sorting for Circularity India Project
Fashion for Good
India, a major textile manufacturing and consumption hub, generates significant pre- and post-consumer textile waste. While some pre-consumer waste is recycled, much is downcycled into lower-quality products. Post-consumer domestic waste is hard to track due to limited data on its volume and composition. India also imports millions of tonnes of global textile waste worth over €100m, which is manually sorted despite scarce information. NC John & Sons’ location in Tirupur—responsible for over 75% of India’s knitted garment exports—makes it a prime site for leading the Textile Waste Mapping project.

The project brings together industry players including Adidas, Levi Strauss & Co., PVH Corp., NCJohn & Sons, Arvind Limited, Birla Cellulose and Welspun India. A key technology partner for the project is Fashion for Good innovator Reverse Resources that provide the analysis of the pre-consumer textile waste streams in addition to designing and running the pre-consumer pilot. The project is supported through catalytic funding provided by Laudes Foundation.
“India is a critical hub, not only for textile production and consumption, but also as a global post- consumer textile waste destination. This project is pivotal to understanding the size of this considerable market and providing the incentive, tools and means for the industry to benefits from the wealth of this untapped resoource.”- Katin Ley, Managing Director at Fashion for Good
