Panipat Pioneers Circular Fashion with EU's Green Threads Programme

The Green Threads programme, a collaboration between FMC and the European Union's SWITCH-Asia initiative, aims to transform Panipat into a sustainable textile hub. The program emphasizes compliance with EU sustainability guidelines and promotes circular fashion through education, eco-design, traceability, and green financing.

The Green Threads programme is positioning Panipat as a leader in circular fashion through a strategic partnership with the European Union's SWITCH-Asia initiative. A workshop in Panipat equipped local exporters with the knowledge to meet new EU sustainability guidelines.

The programme's significant focus on compliance and traceability is poised to align Panipat's textile operations with global sustainability standards. This collaboration fosters a robust industry-backed push towards environmental accountability, positioning Panipat as a modern, global hub for sustainable textiles.

Keynote contributions from leading sustainability figures provided actionable insight into the transition. The effort highlights an innovative model of green financing, facilitated by a consortium of national and international partners, supporting Panipat's ascendancy in the global textile market.
