Khadi is the best example of a circular economy which is well-distributed and decentralised. It also uses human energy and doesn’t consume many resources. Since work throughout the value chain is done by hand, the amount of labour, skill and hard work involved is high and needs to be fairly compensated. At least 8-10 livelihoods are sustained by each garment and considering the dignified compensation to each of them, the overall cost seems higher. Though not comparable to any mill-produced garment, we should also know about the true costs behind the cheaper clothing which ravages mother earth, pollutes the environment, exploits the people involved and leaves behind a big carbon footprint.
