The Government e-Marketplace (GeM) has teamed up with the Ministry of Textiles to start buying recycled and upcycled textile products; from old clothes to factory scrap. Think of it: your old school uniform or office shirt, recycled into something brand new and then bought by a government office. This isn’t about saving money; it’s about creating a market for sustainable fashion. And for job seekers? This could mean new opportunities in sustainable manufacturing, certification, logistics, and even quality testing. The real story? A small policy shift that’s quietly building green jobs from the ground up. As GeM becomes a certified buyer of recycled fabrics, industries will follow; and so will employment. The next big wave in public sector jobs might not be in IT or engineering… but in circular fashion.
