Solving Bengaluru's used textile waste problem

[@Srivi2]

Great initiarive. Ads should come in TV across India regarding Buy less and recycle more. Not just clothes, it applies to all things.

[@smruthirao9081]

Absolutely correct. I have same thoughts.

[@veenah3671]

A request, if there's provision to drop the used clothes to their center it would be very helpful... Sometimes the waste collected from houses might get mixed up and end up in landfill...

[@padmaravi1960]

Excellent work . Really commendable . God bless the entire team 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@PeaceAkaShanti]

Loved the initiative to sustainably recycle ♻️ post consumer waste.

[@saamuhikashakti4097]

Thank you!

[@rj6404]

India needs to learn from these 'great' people called waste pickers , nothing should go to waste , the forgotten culture of this nation .

[@veenah3671]

And kudos to all the people involved, great work and greatful for your work

[@saamuhikashakti4097]

Thank you!

[@t.saraladevi3995]

[@jayaramabbaraju7489]

Kudos to the entire team for the excellent work.🙏

[@joyaghosh2940]

Some thing very similar is being done by the NGO ,GOONJ. For their work the founder got Magasesey award many years back Kudos to such organizations

[@saamuhikashakti4097]

Goonj does fantastic work!

[@civilpse5458]

Great initiative.❤ Let more cities adopt.

[@PeaceAkaShanti]

The mention of women from “ Waste picker Families” at around 5:58 was unwarranted. It reinforces the CASTE vestige that still haunts India’s social fabric. Going forward please ensure that you speak with dignity about the workers who are engaged in such essential services in our communities.

[@PadminiAshok]

Thank you for raising this important concern. In our project, we recognize that terminology carries significant weight, particularly when it comes to dignity and identity. While the community often identifies their family profession with terms like "waste pickers," the intent of our initiative is the opposite - to break the association of a profession with caste and to foster dignity in the work of waste recovery and recycling. By involving wider stakeholders, our aim is to elevate the perception of this essential work. Moving forward, we may adopt alternative terminology, such as "waste recovery professionals," or other inclusive and empowering terms that align with the community’s aspirations and the project's goals.

[@saamuhikashakti4097]

Dignity and respect for waste pickers and the work of waste picking is something we are absolutely committed to. One of our partners in Saamuhika Shakti is BBC Media Action, and their campaign is to bring awareness of the important work of Bengaluru's invaluable waste pickers to the fore, and to foster with the population of Bengaluru better appreciation for the critical role they play everyday. Here is a video for reference: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJOzc5tpbNSBfLMsi=SBVmu8MrrC0Vlr0e

Unsold leftover clothes can be shredded and used for spinning. There are many units in Tirupur that can shred fabric

[@rs-sl1tn]

Instead those clothes can be donated to locals

[@saamuhikashakti4097]

Yes, you are correct. The Textile Recovery Facility is aggregating all the waste from different areas and sending to units to Tirupur.

[@saamuhikashakti4097]

@@rs-sl1tn thank you, yes, we are collecting from local units and aggregating to send to bigger units to Tirupur and Panipat.

[@KarthikBharathi]

Can shredded clothes be converted to new textile fabric without adding any new cotton or polyester fibres?

[@smruthirao9081]

If u shred unsold clothes it is a big wastage of money. Either donating or selling for discounted price is better.

[@sunilkumae2448]

Goodjob frm Hindu for giving this type of awareness videos among public & also commendable job frm entire team (waste cloth recycling project)😄🙏💪😄

[@GoetheCronshaw]

I have one kislux bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...

[@kamalacaddur8169]

Too good to hear great . Thanks to all

[@vishaalbhatnagar3924]

Wonderful initiative! Excellent reporting.

[@saamuhikashakti4097]

Thank you!

[@varalakshmielango5208]

Amazing initiative!

[@shakunthalakumar1353]

Excellent. Kudos to the entire team

[@arulengineers6865]

Great initiative ❤

[@varshanagarajan4529]

Hi team, really appreciate your initiative. Can common public directly send the waste clothes which are in good condition to you ?

[@SingermanRyun]

I've had designer pieces and knockoffs of kislux . I ultimately prefer the knockoffs because I'm not worried about scratching it, preserving it, or someone stealing it.

[@babunaidu4392]

Excellent work 👏

[@saamuhikashakti4097]

Thank you

[@ushasaravanan3053]

Is there a similar thing in Chennai?

[@ZinniaOriente]

Luxury brands only change their strategies for the super rich...The price increases of Fendi, LV, Givenchy and the like are nonsense. Therefore, those ordinary rich people or middle- and upper-class people who can really afford it need to think twice before buying it. If they are just looking to save face, they will buy from kislux .

[@Praveen-nc9ev]

Buying clothes especially luxury clothes is just a liability

[@SanjayGupta-jv9zc]

Up scale in recycling is the order of the day...😅

[@saamuhikashakti4097]

Thank you

[@nirmalabhaskar9819]

Can we come & drop the used clothes to the centre or is there any option to collect it from our place? Pls let me know any contact details

[@Hollymolly958]

Textile recovery industry runs in karur too 😊 Recycled from plastics

[@saamuhikashakti4097]

Amazing!

[@jayashreebs2709]

[@jinymathew7688]

Buy less... less waste....online shopping is the main cause of waste increase everywhere...

[@sangitabannerjee5744]

Incredible effort, plz do share any contact details so that we can send our clothes too.

[@umapraveen8813]

[@Anjali-rg4lo]

[@ummufauzaan4805]

Please provide Address, contact Details of collection center. Thank you

[@ShanibaAjala]

Since becoming a mom, I've learned to be both budget-conscious and stylish. kislux bags help me find the perfect balance between parenting and myself. They are both stylish and affordable, a true choice for moms.

[@PK1234_1]

This waste is coming because we bhaaratheeyas are following western culture .Western culture creating more waste than bhaaratheeya culture if we follow
