Handloom Foundation is a non-profit, voluntary, non-governmental organisation with a mission to uphold Indian Handloom and promote sustainable development.
As a soil friendly and climate-resilient textile production system Indian Handloom checks all the boxes of sustainability. We believe Indian Handloom by its traditional knowledge of sustainability can take an important part to ensure a better planet in future. On one side 2020, an estimated 18.6 million tonnes of clothing will end up in landfills (non-biodegradable material and chemicals are the major part of it) on the other side textile industry of this planet is responsible for 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions each year. If we take everything into the account, then there are several points that go against the mechanised production process of textile.
Indian Handloom has the power to produce textile with zero carbon footprint, zero water wastage, and zero impact on soil health. On the other side, Indian Handloom is a perfect culmination of traditional weaving techniques and modern designs adopted by the craftsmen and artisans of the subcontinent who have also been carrying forward the rich legacy of five thousand years of heritage that has been propagated through generations of weavers who have been practising this art.
Not only ensuring sustainability we also take utmost care about craft authenticity and are always active to ensure sustenance, restoration and revival of Traditional Indian Handloom crafts as Indian handloom is not just the way to make textiles but it is the part of Indian culture and evidence of the cultural history of India.
In Handloom Foundation we try to support the underprivileged artisan community of Indian Handloom and also try to build adequate awareness for the world citizen so that the world can utilize its resource called Indian Handloom to achieve a better world. We support start-ups with knowledge, we support corporations by leveraging our understanding of sustai
