Fashion is one of the most polluting industries on the planet – contributing significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions and wastewater. And every second a truckload-full of clothes is burned or buried in landfills. While younger Indians have only recently adopted the concept of ‘thrifting’, one model of reuse has been around for centuries, practiced by the nomadic community of Gujarat.

Every week, Eco India brings you stories that inspire you to build a cleaner, greener and better tomorrow.
