About Conserve India

Conserve India is a Delhi-based non-profit working at the intersection of circular economy, sustainable livelihoods, waste-to-wealth innovation, and inclusive value chain development.

In the textile circularity space, Conserve India works on strengthening circular textile value chains through textile waste recovery, sorting and segregation systems, upcycling, recycling linkages, circular product development, MSME engagement, and community-led livelihood models. Our work focuses on converting textile and other waste streams into economic opportunities while supporting inclusive participation of women, informal workers, artisans, and grassroots enterprises. Conserve India’s approach combines field implementation, stakeholder engagement, research, capacity building, and cluster-based circular economy solutions to support India’s transition towards more responsible, traceable, and inclusive textile waste systems..
