Abstract
Globally, the textile industry is a major source of waste generation causing harmful impacts on the environment. India is a major player in the textile arena and can play a significant and exemplary role in textile waste management, textile waste reduction and promote a circular economy through a combination of actions and policy initiatives such as strengthening the textile recycling infrastructure, awareness generation for sustainable consumption, and policy interventions such as extended producer responsibility for textiles to regulate the sector.
