FAQs
1. Why Recycling?
Did you know that in India alone, more than 1 million tonnes of textiles are discarded by households every year? Shockingly, textile waste ranks as the third-largest form of solid municipal waste. On a global scale, the textile industry contributes a staggering 10% of total carbon emissions, surpassing the emissions from international travel and maritime shipping combined. This Environment Day, we at IndiGive Foundation and CSRBOX are doing our bit to preserve our one and only home. Our Planet Earth. Through this, we seek to promote green & sustainable habits and practices and generate much needed environmental consciousness among corporates and individuals.
2. What are the benefits of Recycling?
In many ways, recycling benefits the environment. It lessens the quantity of waste that ends up in landfills and lowers our nation's carbon footprint. Additionally, it turns garbage into valuable products and creates work for numerous people both locally and globally. Additionally, reusing clothing might benefit those in need. It offers reasonably priced, high-quality apparel and funds charitable initiatives.
Recycling clothing can lessen the quantity of greenhouse gas produced by the textile sector in addition to these advantages. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions can help slow down climate change.
