About Green Vastra​

At Green Vastra, we believe that every piece of clothing has a second life. As India’s pioneering textile recycling service, our mission is to transform the way people discard their old garments responsibly, sustainably, and with purpose.

Every year, millions of tons of textiles end up in landfills, harming our environment and wasting valuable resources. Green Vastra was created to change that. We help you declutter your wardrobe in an eco-friendly way by collecting, sorting, and recycling your old clothes so they can be reused, repurposed, or transformed into something new.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What happens to the old clothes?

We recycle them into new fibres and textiles to make new products. Our amazing team of rural women helps in sorting and recycling the clothes.

What is the process of recycling?

Firstly, with the help of our rural eco warriors we sort the clothes into different categories, based on color, compositions (cotton, polyester, etc) and other important parameters. After sorting, we remove all non-clothing elements like buttons, zippers, tags etc. Once the clothes are sorted and everything else is removed, they are shredded into smaller pieces in preparation for recycling. Finally, our recycling machinery converts them into new fibres and textile material.

Why recycle instead of donate?

Reuse via donation, or any other way is always the better option. However, most of the donated clothes are eventually dumped because of mismatching sizes, personal preferences, lack of storage, etc.
