Award milestone
CITI Textile Sustainability National Award 2026
Congratulations to Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation on receiving the CITI Textile Sustainability National Award 2026! 🌿🏆
We’re proud that Punarsutra’s Threads of Change – Textile Recovery Facility (TRF) has contributed to this impactful journey towards a circular textile economy.
Together with NMMC, the Textile Committee, SBI Foundation, IDH India, and our partners, we’re proving that textile waste can create livelihoods, empower women, and protect the environment.
Here’s to many more milestones in sustainable textiles! ♻️💚
From collection to conscious creation
Old clothes become new products.
Old clothes donated through RWAs and collection systems are not wasted. They are transported, sorted, sanitized, and directed into upcycling, resale, or recycling streams.
Through this process, Punarsutra is not just creating products. It is rewriting the journey of fabric from consumption to conscious creation.
Collection
Discarded garments and usable textiles are collected from societies and drives.
Sorting and sanitization
Material is cleaned, segregated, and prepared for the right next use.
Upcycling
Women-led teams reconstruct fabric into practical handcrafted products.
Creation
Each product enters the catalogue with a second life and a visible story.
Women-led craftsmanship
The hands behind every bag.
Every purchase supports a woman artisan. The initiative turns local collection into livelihood generation, skill development, and market-linked handcrafted products.
For customers, the result is a product that is useful, sustainable, handmade, and traceable. For the makers, it is steady work connected to a larger circularity mission.
