A 10-member team of Kudumbashree officials from the district visited Panipat and Delhi last week in order to study the methods of manufacturing new products from old clothes. The Kudumbashree District Mission is preparing to launch an ambitious project by collecting and treating old clothes.
“We could find that a large number of eco-friendly products can be made from old clothes. Our visit was a fruitful one,” said Kudumbashree District Mission coordinator Jafar Kakkoth.
The team led by Mr. Kakkoth visited several plants in Panipat and Delhi. Among the units they visited were Kakkar Spinning Mills and G.K. Enterprises in Panipat. They also got the help of a voluntary organisation named Goonj in Delhi.
