About
​Sustainable Threads is a grassroots initiative with a clear goal: to reduce fashion waste by creating a more circular ecosystem in India’s retail space.
About Us
We saw a gap — retailers wanted to be more sustainable, customers wanted to do the right thing, and mills could process old textiles. But there was no single platform bringing all of them together. So we built it.
​
Our model is simple but powerful. We enable retail stores to collect used clothing. We then connect them with registered mills that specialize in recycling, upcycling, or repurposing garments.
​
There are no complicated systems or payments involved — just collaboration for a cleaner, smarter future in fashion.
How It Works
For Retailers
If you're a retail brand looking to take a step toward sustainability, we make it easy.
You sign up with us, and we guide you in setting up a collection point at your store. We help design the communication, advise on incentives to offer customers, and provide you access to a directory of verified mills across India.
Once your drive is active, simply track how much clothing you collect — and use our platform to connect with mills who can pick it up and put it to use.
​
You reduce waste, build customer loyalty, and contribute to a larger movement of responsible retail.
How It Works
For Mills
If you're a textile recycler, upcycler, or repurposing unit, listing on our platform is quick and free.
Share your contact information, location, and what types of clothes or materials you can process. This will help retail brands find the right partners based on geography and capacity.
You don’t need to handle any transactions through the site — our goal is to just connect you with companies that have collected clothes and want to get them into the right hands.
By listing on Sustainable Threads, you’re opening your mill to new partnerships and helping India move toward more sustainable manufacturing practices.
