Abstract Environmental sustainability is currently an idealized concept. Products with conscious fashion are attracting market demand. The wallpaper industry is paving its way towards conscious fashion with the introduction of our product, Lakshavedhi. The word "lakshavedhi" in Marathi means "eye-catching," characterizing our product's experience. This vibrant and eco-friendly wallpaper is created by hand-weaving recycled newspaper strips on a loom and backing it with paper. The wallpaper has no use of synthetic materials, products like vinyl (PVC), or is avoided to make it environmentally friendly. The adhesives are composed of nature-based substances. Some threats might go unnoticed for decades; similarly, current wallpapers and even paints emit volatile organic compounds (VOC), resulting in chronic respiratory diseases. Lakshavedhi, as a solution, has no application of vinyl. Nowadays, businesses are repurposing outdated items to satisfy consumer demands and cut down on waste. Similarly, Lakshavedhi is the upcycling of newspaper; hence, the ink, which contains toxic materials, cannot be avoided. While there aren't many useful products made from upcycled fabrics, the appeal of repurposing waste materials to create something new is enough to pique consumers' interest in reusing them. The idea of inculcating a sense of belongingness to nature without compromising on aesthetics is our primary motive. Our product has zero carbon emissions and uses eco-friendly products. The product can be produced in a variety of newspaper quality and stitching patterns to satisfy discerning customers and provide an aesthetic and classy look on walls. Lakshavedhi is a step towards promoting artisanship and sustainability. The textile industry is increasingly having the chance to investigate creative methods of recycling vintage materials. The artisanal and handloom industries are given a boost through the making of this product. Along with that, women who are skilled in stitching and making other handicrafts will get an opportunity to showcase their skills, thereby empowering them. A product that offers green home decor with minimalism and is aesthetically pleasing, environmentally friendly, and pocket-friendly, is ought to be Lakshavedhi.
Keywords recycling, artisans, women empowerment, zero carbon emissions, pocket-friendly, environmental friendly.
