Waste to Wonder: Transforming Textile Waste into Sustainable Jewellery
At World of Ikat, we're passionate about reducing our carbon footprint and promoting sustainability in the fashion industry. One of the most significant challenges we face is the staggering amount of textile waste generated by the fashion industry.
The Alarming Reality of Textile Waste
- 12.8% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from the fashion industry.
- 92 million tons of textile waste are generated annually.
- Textile waste takes 200-500 years to decompose.
Upcycling: A Sustainable Solution
Our "Waste to Wonder" initiative focuses on upcycling textile waste into exquisite pieces, such as:
- Upcycled jewellery: fabrics, beads, and threads are transformed into unique necklaces, earrings, and pendants
- Handcrafted accessories: textile waste is repurposed into bags and cosmetic pouches
Benefits of Upcycling
- Reduces textile waste
- Decreases carbon emissions
