ReCharkha-The EcoSocial Tribe
We UPCYCLE waste plastic such a polybags/plastic bags, biscuit or wafer wrappers and other multilayered packaging, using a traditional CHARKHA (Spindle) and HANDLOOM to weave it into a fabric. This unique process is designed to provide LIVELIHOOD
opportunities to our TRIBAL WOMEN and YOUTH.
We have our process explained in this video: https://youtu.be/GQR-iJ6pej0
This UPCYCLED-HANDWOVEN fabric is then used to make handcrafted utility items such as bags and fashion accessories, home decor and office stationery products. These products are presented in our online shop https://www.recharkha.org/collections/all.
We retail these products at our office in Pune(India) and directly sell through exhibitions in India, USA, Singapore, UK, France, New Zealand, and Dubai. Apart from these products, we customize products for BULK corporate orders for our customers.
