Undamaged or lightly worn items are repaired and sold at affordable prices in second-hand markets and local thrift shops. The remaining textiles are transformed into recycled yarn through a labor-intensive process. Artisans meticulously separate clothes by color, converting them into yarn that is subsequently woven into various household products on handloom and mechanized looms.
