Sutrakaar Creations is weaving a sustainable future with yarn made from waste paper. Moreover all their products are handcrafted minimising the use of electrically operated machines. The weavers cut waste paper into strips of 2-4 mm, twist and hand-spin them over the charkha to make thread-like strings using adhesive. This is then used as the weft, the warp is either cotton or Ahimsa silk, both recycled industrial waste. Most raw material is sourced from kabadiwalas. The waste yarn is fashioned into accessories like pouches and handbags, gifting items such as diary covers and photo frames, and home decor accents such as lampshades and room dividers.
Our Pick: Handspun and handwoven newspaper fabric lampshades.
