There was a time when products such as bed linens, curtains, towels, etc. were bought only when old ones were torn apart! Thanks to the increase in purchasing power and lifestyle of Indian middle class, the mindsets of people have changed over the last decade or so. Read about the growth of Indian home textile sector in the last decade with inputs from Secretary of Textiles Committee, and top leaders from Welspun, Staubli, Picanol, etc. The August issue also carries highlights of some new product launches from ITMA Asia; and a special feature on Italian textile machinery including an interview with Raffaella Carabelli, President of ACIMIT. Do you know a traditional t-shirt uses up to 2,700 litres of clean water? In a country like India where water is scarce, Pure Waste’s unique concept of producing t-shirt without water will definitely have a huge role to play. Kalle Maatta of Pure Waste shares the idea behind this concept. More such good stories are jam-packed in our regular sections.
