REVIVING THE DRY LAND

A major part of FABORGs work revolves around calotropis plant - a shrub that thrives on drought-prone and depleted soils and requires virtually no water or pesticides to grow.  This magnificent pioneer plant, whose main job is to bring the forest canopy back, can create an income for rural communities and solve desertification in a short span of time.​

EMPOWERING DRYLAND AND FARMING COMMUNITIES

No natural fabric is completely environmentally friendly unless it's dyed mindfully. To maintain complete sustainability, we do natural dyeing and color fixing processes with plant material and medicines that are also used in Ayurvedic practices. 

ZERO WASTE PRODUCTION

Once fibers are extracted, the concentrated and fermented leftovers from the plant are mixed with different ayurvedic herbs and made into ARKA- a very efficient bio-nutrient and insect repellent. No water is wasted in fiber extraction or natural dye processing - every drop is recycled or used for ARKA.

NEGATIVE CARBON FOOTPRINT

The time-sensitive processing of calotropis plants forces the whole production to be local (decentralized) and prevent an unnecessary carbon footprint for transportation. Additionally, 1 acre of calotropis on drylands captures a minimum of 7000 tons of carbon from the air.
