<Our sustainability, impact, footprint, supply chain and recognizations>.

We are eliminating the need for virgin-based materials in fashion products with our low-impact recycled textiles that align with Earth’s natural circularity. By re-purposing textile waste from MSEs through our green circular recycling technology. Creating a pathway to zero-natural resources and non-renewable energy-dependent fashion industry and achieving significant science-based targets towards developing a positive planet and ecosystem based on the regenerative economy principle.

<Our technology and low-impact materials provides a meaning partnership towards committing to protecting nature, the natural ecosystem, and the people behind the industry>.

We collect waste from marginalized apparel manufacturing units (MSEs) in India that otherwise leads to landfills causing severe challenges to humans and the environment and creating significant adverse impacts. Some desired outcomes from this practice are significantly eliminating GHG gasses, hazardous substances, and wastewater from the ecosystem. In addition, improving the health of workers, consumers, and the overall planet by diverting the waste,

<Our environmental impact>.

Our range of innovative recycled materials is low impact. Specifically, HCD-Tex has the lowest carbon footprint (+2.88 kg CO2/e) within the fashion and textile industry, significantly reducing GHG Emissions by 32.7% than the average industry through our innovative local circular recycling technology.

It also reduces dependencies on Virgin material by 100%, saving natural resources throughout the supply chain. 38% reduced water consumption, and the water recycling framework is used to recycle the entire utilized water. Eliminating micro-plastic discharge into the drainage through efficient washing operations with german tech.

Developed through a Local Circular Recycling Framework With lowest Carbon Footprint in the Textile Industry with our localized recycling approach.

<Our social footprint>.

<Our social impact>.

We are partnered with more than 150 marginalized apparel manufacturing MSEs; that has no support, knowledge, resources towards waste management operations and , sustainable development. Enabling all of these MSEs towards sustainable development,

We are currently diverting over 35+ Tonne of Textile waste from going to landfills within the local manufacturing regions of India. Building up a ethical, healthy and safe lifestyle for every individuals.

We build up sustainable transformation workshop, training module for the apparel manufacturing MSEs to acquire knowledge and skill towards waste management and sustainable operations. Importantly sharing 25% of our profit directly with the hardworking artisans.

<Our certifications>.

Humanity Centred Designs give you security and transparency. With Us, you have the guarantee that our fabrics have gone through various independently approved certification steps.

GOTS stands for Global Organic Textile Standard and means a minimum standard that is indispensable for us and that takes account of ecological criteria as well as social standards. Many of our fabrics are GOTS certified and ultimately give both us and you safety & reliability. Once a year, GOTS conducts a comprehensive audit of our operations, practices, code of conduct, health and safety, ETI and other.

Note: Not all our Recycled Textile Materials are GOT Certified, Rest Assured we have processed the applications and they will be soon certified.

The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) is an international, voluntary standard that sets requirements for third-party certification of Recycled input and chain of custody. The goal of the RCS is to increase the use of Recycled materials and uses the chain of custody requirements of the Content Claim Standard (CCS).

Note: Not all our Recycled Textile Materials are RCS Certified, Rest Assured we have processed the applications and they will be soon certified.

We have successfully cleared, and adhere The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), statutory organizations, standards factors our Water and Chemical Consumption and Management to increase our efficiency throughout the Supply chain. Once a year CPCB conducts a comprehensive audit that analyse and improve our operations.
