IIT Delhi Develops Method to Recycle Denim Waste into Garments

Scientists at IIT Delhi have found a new way to turn old denim into new clothes!

They figured out how to recycle denim scraps into yarn, which they then used to make knitted clothing.

They can even use a lot of the recycled yarn (up to half!)

without making the clothes feel scratchy.

This helps reduce the amount of old clothes that end up in landfills.

The researchers also discovered that this new process is good for the environment.

It reduces pollution and the use of things like water and chemicals that are needed to grow cotton.

The team is also looking into ways to recycle the clothes multiple times.
