Economic impact:

1. Craftsmen of traditional arts in developing countries usually live in difficult financial conditions.
This type of initiative would provide them with more work and enhanced income, and would thus
help in the process of reduction of poverty, meeting the SDG 1 and also SDG 8, i.e. Decent Work
and Economic Growth.

Environmental impact:

1. Waste disposal is a big challenge to the environment. Through this project, the amount of textile
waste generated is reduced considerably, thus working towards environmental sustainability and
meeting SDG 11- Sustainable Cities and Communities.

Both of these are appropriate examples of circular economy, covering the social, environmental and
economical domains.
