KHADI IN SHADES OF GREEN: SUSTAINABLE APPROACHES TO ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY MANUFACTURING
Abstract
This research study delves into the realm of sustainable manufacturing in the context of Khadi production—a traditional handspun and handwoven fabric with historical and cultural significance. The study assesses and analyzes various environment-friendly approaches and practices in Khadi manufacturing. It explores sustainable sourcing of raw materials, eco-conscious production processes, renewable energy adoption, and ethical labor practices. By evaluating the environmental, social, and economic impacts of these approaches, the study contributes to the development of a more sustainable and responsible Khadi industry, aligning with global efforts toward eco-conscious fashion and ethical production.
