ECO IMPACT

At One Thread Fair Trade, we are doing our best to minimize the effect we have on our environment.

Our products are made using hand loom silks. Hand loom weaving is tremendously better for the environment as the weaving is done by human hands and does not involve any machinery. As a result, hand loom fabrics produce ZERO energy impact and release 1 TON LESS CO2 in a year than the same job produced on a power loom. Power loom fabrics contribute large amounts of carbon emissions into our environment and one job on a power loom sucks up as much energy as 20 vacuum cleaners running all day.

Also, by using hand loom we support the rural hand loom weaving villages which are struggling to survive due to the increasing usage of power looms. Hand loom weaving uses nine times more labor than required by a power loom, thus providing many more people with a livelihood and means of survival.
