Abstract:
Owing to industrialization the textile industry changed
its long and tedious hours of job to a simpler and more
promising policies and machines. These policies not
even boosted the fabric demands but also gave an
opportunity to industries to increase their grounds with
respect to Fashion Technology. This industrialization is
the reason for which recyclable yarn became a catalyst
in the fashion technology. Power looms have
modernized the tools and techniques of weaving but
every aspect progresses with a bit of a disadvantage.
Power looms are the sectors utilizing the largest amount
of water than any other business sector In India. Due to
which waste re-cycling is not a factor .This is due to the
use of synthetic fibers over natural fibers. Handloom
community recognizes different natural fibers in the
process of spinning and weaving. Due to which in order
for the material to remain safe and eco-friendly.
Communities practicing natural dyeing and weaving
have their own propaganda and principle respect
towards their own material. Moreover, communities
prefer mill-spun yarn over hand-spun yarn in order to
reduce the time slot in manufacturing a product. Natural
dyeing and weaving itself is an art which depends on
the availability of resources in a particular area. That is
the reason why different regions develop different
variety of product from qualitative aspect. Being from
different region yet “Ikat fabric” remains the most
common sustainable product manufactured.
When these tangible natural resources are converted
into fabrics through long and tedious process, the final
product remains astonishing. Keeping in mind the
properties of these fabrics, which has a limited lifetime,
is either re-used for an alternate purpose or re-cycled
into some other product. These can be classified as preconsumer
waste and post-consumer waste. Based on
this segregation the re-cycling process for both the
aspects are different. The products under pre-consumer
waste are either utilize for a social cause or rather what
industries prefer is re-selling. Irrespective of what the recycled
product turns out to be, there is hardly a
benefitting factor for the weavers and the artisans. The
industries remain the primary benefited body and the
consumers remains the secondary benefited body.
Weaving community live by a principle factor of
organizing their work with respect to art, science and
social aspect.
