Assertion (A) : Panipat is the hub for textile recycling, where large quantities of second-hand clothing are shredded and respun to produce shoddy yarn.
Reason (R) : There are some conscious designers that are incorporating zero waste design to avoid fabric wastage.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
The statement asserts that Panipat is a major center for textile recycling, specifically involving the shredding and re-spinning of second-hand clothing into shoddy yarn. Panipat is widely recognized as a significant textile hub in India, known for its blanket manufacturing and recycling industries, which often utilize recycled fibers sourced from used garments.
Therefore, Assertion (A) is factually correct.
The statement mentions the practice of "zero waste design" by conscious designers aimed at minimizing fabric wastage during the creation process. Zero waste fashion design is a recognized and growing approach within the industry focused on sustainability and reducing environmental impact by utilizing fabric efficiently.
Therefore, Reason (R) is also factually correct.
Assertion (A) discusses a specific large-scale recycling activity in Panipat (processing used clothing). Reason (R) describes a design philosophy (zero waste design) adopted by some designers. While both relate to the textile industry and sustainability, the existence or practice of zero waste design does not explain why Panipat specifically functions as a hub for recycling second-hand clothing into shoddy yarn. These are independent concepts.
Both statements (A) and (R) are correct individually. However, Reason (R) does not provide a reason or explanation for Assertion (A).
The most appropriate answer is that both statements are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
