Our Mission

Giving clothes a
second life

India Recycles collects donated clothes from households and redistributes them through weekly sales in urban slum communities, priced between ₹10 and ₹50 to preserve dignity and promote responsibility.

Clothes that can no longer be worn are upcycled into shoes and apparel through our Re-Vibe brand, or transformed into traditional winter mattresses through the Godadi Project, creating livelihoods for women.

  • Zero Waste Goal
