Blind spots in textile recycling: Fashion\u2019s sustainability claims overlook workers\u2019 rights<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1768998517894{padding-top: 2.5% !important;}” text_direction=”default”]\n
Using recycled materials in garment and textile items reduces the need for virgin raw material and makes sure that part of the huge textile waste mountain that the fashion industry generates is being converted into input materials for new products. Since this supports to decrease the industry\u2019s environmental footprint, this practice is viewed as sustainable and responsible. But what about the rights of the workers that process the textile waste? Earlier studies showed that many workers in the textile recycling industry in South Asia work under harsh conditions, with many health and safety issues, low wages and no formal employment relations and social benefits. In Arisa\u2019s new publication, Blind spots in textile recycling: Fashion\u2019s sustainability claims overlook workers\u2019 rights, 20 fast fashion brands are questioned whether they include the working conditions of the textile recycling workers in their due diligence practices.<\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1768998641706{padding-top: 2.5% !important;}” text_direction=”default”]Download PDF (English)<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

Pakistan is home to an established textile recycling industry. Used clothes imported from all over the world are sorted in the country, after which they are re-exported or end up at second hand markets in Pakistan. Next to this, post-industrial waste from its domestic garment and textile industry is processed into recycled fibres in recycling units. A new publication of Arisa, The human cost of textile recycling: Case study Pakistan, gives a sneak peek into the world of textile recycling in Pakistan. It shows the major textile recycling hubs, how they are organized, and gives a voice to the ones that are closest involved: the workers and owners of the recycling units.

Workers in Pakistan\u2019s denim export factories are subjected to excessive working hours, wage theft, poverty wages. <\/span>These widespread labour rights violations are detailed in this report by Arisa, based on interviews and focus group discussions with 126 workers from eight garment factories in Karachi and Lahore, conducted in collaboration with Pakistani labour rights researchers.<\/span> The majority of workers reported routinely working beyond the legal limit, with overtime described as mandatory and unpaid. Refusing extra hours often led to threats, harassment, wage cuts, or dismissal.\u202fAlso they have little to no access to social security benefits.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Precarious labour and silenced workers – The position of workers from Scheduled Caste communities in the textiles and garment industry in Pakistan<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1738684983927{padding-top: 2.5% !important;}” text_direction=”default”]\n
In Pakistan, although there is no official recognition that caste-based practices exist, discrimination against minorities, particularly Scheduled Caste Hindus and Christians, remains prevalent.<\/h5>\n
With limited livelihood opportunities in impoverished rural areas, many individuals from rural Scheduled Caste communities migrate to cities like Karachi in search of employment. In Karachi, they increasingly find work in garment factories.<\/h5>\n
This report explores caste-based discrimination and challenges that Scheduled Caste workers face in Karachi\u2019s export-oriented textiles and garment industry.<\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1770281811475{padding-top: 2.5% !important;}” text_direction=”default”]\n

Business activities around the world can pose significant risks to workers, their communities and the environment. In industries such as stone extraction, where exploitative working conditions are prevalent, marginalised communities bear the brunt of these impacts. A new report by Arisa and the Centre for Labour Research and Action (CLRA) sheds light on the experiences of marginalised caste communities in Rajasthan, India, where workers are trapped in dangerous, low-paid and informal jobs.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n
Caste-based discrimination and exclusion are often fundamental drivers of widespread labour rights violations. Companies operating in or sourcing materials from caste-affected regions need to be aware of these risks and take steps to address them. Failure to do so can undermine the effectiveness of companies’ due diligence efforts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1734003239109{padding-top: 2.5% !important;}” text_direction=”default”]Download PDF (English)<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

Trends in Production and Trade – Cotton, Textiles and Garments from Pakistan<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1727260202789{padding-top: 2.5% !important;}”]\n
South Asia is a particularly prominent apparel production region for the international market. After Bangladesh and India, Pakistan is the region\u2019s third largest exporter of cotton, textiles and garments, and the eighth largest in Asia. Due to its unique geography, climate and demography, Pakistan has a largely vertically integrated supply chain, in which production activities, ranging from cotton farming to yarn spinning, textile production, sewing and recycling are present domestically.<\/h5>\n
As Pakistan\u2019s ailing economy faces a multitude of crises including inflation, political unrest and environmental catastrophe, its cotton, textile and garment exports will remain indispensable to the country\u2019s prosperity for the foreseeable future. This report provides an overview of recent trends in export destinations and prominent product categories, as well as a mapping of key Pakistani manufacturing firms and foreign buyers.

\n(Wage Improvements in Seeds Hybrids)\u00a0 \u2013 Child Labour and minimum wages baseline and risk assessment study<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1696004241839{padding-top: 2.5% !important;}”]\nChild labour and non-payment of minimum wages in hybrid vegetable seed production in India has received a lot of attention in recent years. Several industry reports by Fair Labor Association (FLA) and Arisa indicate that the seed production sector in India faces several critical and systemic human and labour rights issues. Current wages in the sector are often lower than the legal minimum wage in the region, and although child labour has been greatly reduced in recent years, it remains an ongoing challenge.<\/h5>\n
In 2021, BASF, Syngenta and Arisa joined forces in a multi-stakeholder collaboration called Wage Improvements in Seed Hybrids (WISH) to strive for minimum wage compliance and tackle child labour in the vegetable seed sector in India.<\/h5>\n
The four-year WISH project consists of two phases: In the first phase, WISH conducted a baseline survey to map the current status of child labour and minimum wage in the seed production sites where BASF and Syngenta operate, and to develop indicators to measure future project outcomes.<\/h5>\n
This report is the result of the first phase. Field and production cost data were collected and analysed by Glocal Research and MV Foundation, two India-based organisations, with support from Arisa. The study is not limited to Syngenta and BASF farms, but includes information from several companies operating at the research sites.<\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1721901618904{padding-top: 2.5% !important;}”]Download PDF (English)<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

Hides & Hardship – Caste-based discrimination in the leather industry in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1681821353848{padding-top: 2.5% !important;}”]\n
Leather work is seen in India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan as dirty and undesirable. Many of the people who work in the industry \u2013 and in India the overall majority \u2013 occupy marginalised places in society and often lack any other livelihood option. They are vulnerable to exploitation and have little if any possibility of moving forward in work or in life to break the cycle of poverty and discrimination for themselves or their children.<\/h5>\n
A specific connection between caste and the leather industry can be identified, while a religious aspect is present as well, especially in India. Since religious minorities face many challenges in these three countries, the interlinkages between caste, religion, and leather work cannot be ignored when looking at discriminatory practices in the industry in these countries.<\/h5>\n
This paper shows that caste and related discriminatory practices, at times specifically interlinking with religion, are high risk factors for businesses that source leather or leather products from India, Bangladesh, or Pakistan. It explains how caste-based and religious-based discrimination presents itself in these countries and how this connects to the leather industry.<\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1721901630650{padding-top: 2.5% !important;}”]Download PDF (English)<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

Labour abuses in supply chains uncovered – Leather and leather shoes from India<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1681821168470{padding-top: 2.5% !important;}”]\n
The leather and leather goods industry in India makes a substantial contribution to global demands for leather and leather goods, as well as contributing a decent share to the country\u2019s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In 2019, Indian leather exports totalled about 5.5 billion USD and helped to employ nearly 4.42 million formal workers. All stages of leather production take place in India \u2013 from larger export tanneries and factories manufacturing leather goods to smaller workshops and home-based workers stitching leather uppers for shoes by hand. The sector is often associated with poor working conditions, such as low wages, long working hours, health and safety issues, informal employment relationships and challenges when it comes to freedom of association.<\/h5>\n
New information about the working conditions in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan was gathered for the Together for Decent Leather programme. Three field studies were carried out in each of these countries. In this briefing paper, we provide an overview of the study\u2019s main findings about the working conditions of leather workers in the state of Tamil Nadu in India. This briefing paper turns the spotlight on the leather cluster in Tamil Nadu, and how this cluster relates to the Indian leather industry and export market. An important aspect of this paper is the link that is made with international companies that are related to the Tamil Nadu leather industry – and therefore face potentiel risks in their supply chains.\u00a0This report is based on the full field study report (which can be found here) <\/a>published under the umbrella of Together for Decent Leather.<\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1721901641069{padding-top: 2.5% !important;}”]Download PDF (English)<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

\u201cSeeds of Oppression\u201d, released by Arisa and CLRA, highlights a slavery-like reality for many workers in Gujarat \u2013 mostly migrants from other areas \u2013 who work in the cottonseed sector. The abuses described in this report, such as forced labour, sexual exploitation, structural underpayment and appalling working conditions, are still a daily reality in 2021. When these workers question their employers about facts, the narrative is quickly circulated that they are disobedient and this reduces their chances of future employment.<\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1721901663176{padding-top: 2.5% !important;}”]Download PDF (English)<\/a>

There is a serious risk that workers are trapped in forced labour conditions in the Indian spinning mills that produce yarn and fabrics for the international clothing and textile industry. Large-scale research undertaken by SOMO and Arisa, of 29 spinning mills in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, presented in the report \u2018Spinning Around Workers\u2019 Rights\u2019, has revealed this exploitation. On top of that, the already vulnerable workers in this sector are severely affected by the ongoing Corona crisis.<\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1721901673075{padding-top: 2.5% !important;}”]Download PDF (English)<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

Arisa takes part in the “Together for Decent Leather” programme, a three year programme that focuses on bettering the labour conditions of leather workers in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. As part of this programme, overviews of trends in production and trade of leather and leather products are drafted, one for each of the production countries. Arisa published the country overview for India on May 18, in which information can be found on the production of leather and leather products in India, where these are shipped to, and what companies are buying them.

Textile Recycling Unravelled<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1593164325263{padding-top: 2.5% !important;}”]\n
At a time when the recycling of materials and the drive to achieve a circular economy are high on the agenda, textile collector and social entrepreneur Sympany and NGO Arisa publish the report “Textile recycling unravelled”. The report shows that the textile recycling chain is complex and involves risks on child labour and poor working conditions. It focuses on the city of Panipat in India, where a substantial part of the economy depends on the recycling of imported used textiles, including from The Netherlands. Sympany and Arisa call on businesses involved in these textile recycling chains to take their responsibility and address the existing risks.<\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1721901724634{padding-top: 2.5% !important;}”]Download PDF (English)<\/a><\/p>\n
