- At a time when many in the fashion industry are shunning products with adverse environmental and social impact, Khaloom knits together a viable case for circular fashion economy with recycled fabric.
- Founded in 2016, the startup aims to promote the use of recycled textiles and reduce the amount of cotton that continues to end up in landfills, while reducing overall water footprint and pollution by the fast fashion industry by introducing discarded textiles back into mainstream fashion.
- To promote sustainable and circular fashion, Dutch Ministers Bruno Burnis and Sigrid Kaag wore clothes woven by Khaloom recycled fabrics.
- Some of the recycled polyester yarns are woven on power looms but the fabric made is 100 percent polyester, and not suitable for apparel as their moisture absorption is low.
- While India has a legacy of celebrating khadi products, the transition of handwoven and handloom products has been slow in the age of power looms and machine made products.
