India’s Role in the Crisis

India, as a major textile and décor producer, faces unique challenges:

• River Pollution: Textile hubs like Kanpur and Tirupur have rivers contaminated with dyes and chemicals.
• Air Quality: VOC emissions from paints and synthetic materials worsen air quality, especially in urban areas.
• Overconsumption: The growing demand for fast fashion and affordable décor has led to unsustainable production cycles.
