I was invited by CDC, powered by the United Nations in India, to lead a roundtable— a great learning experience to connect with leaders in sustainability and innovation. Speaking about my work at @dharathfoundation and highlighting the incredible work each of them is doing. 1. Using revolutionary recycling technology, @shop.without transforms discarded multi-layered plastic into high-quality, toxin-free materials with a lower carbon footprint. 2. @studio_medium transforms silk offcuts, surplus fabric, and cotton yarn into garments and textiles using upcycling, re-dyeing, and hand composition techniques. 3. @felipe_fiallo creates eco-friendly footwear by combining innovative design, additive technology, and recyclable TPU, using Crystal Growing to form natural crystals during production. 4. @banofileather redefines circular fashion by turning banana crop waste into Banofi Leather, transforming 1 ton of fruit waste into 4 tons of leather, and merging bio-based science with design. @foolishly_brave is a leading force! 5. @amesh.wijesekera crafts artisanal pieces from dead-stock materials, partnering with Sri Lankan artisans and using traditional, eco-friendly techniques. 6. @apieceofgrassgrass pioneers zero-waste design by cutting fabric into modular pieces, transforming single garments into versatile styles while minimizing waste. Wearing vintage @stellamccartney, I sourced in Tokyo. Big thanks to @darshana.gajare @circulardesignchallenge @uninindia 💙🌱 for having me.
