India's government takes proactive steps to establish the nation as a global center for sustainable and circular textiles. The Ministry of Textiles aims to map India's textile waste value chain, creating recycling clusters and seeking consulting agencies through a request for proposal (RFP). 

These efforts are crucial to secure India's future in textile exports as the country faces increasing demand for sustainable and recyclable products in major markets such as the EU. 

Currently, less than 1% of textile waste is recycled, highlighting the need for circular textile strategies. By embracing circularity, India aims to meet future demands while targeting a substantial increase in textile exports, reaching $100 billion within 5-6 years.
