Pashmina Shawl
The Pashmina Goat Project and The Real Pashmina have introduced a new “Pashmina Transparency Framework” for the global pashmina industry. This framework uses advanced technologies like Blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Web 3.0 to create transparency in the production of real pashmina shawls.
The pashmina industry has faced challenges related to ethical sourcing, authenticity, and sustainability. This new framework aims to tackle these issues by recording every step of the pashmina shawl production securely using these technologies. It ensures that each product is authentic and provides a clear record for everyone involved. AI is used to verify the authenticity of pashmina materials, preventing fake products from circulating. IoT technology monitors factors like temperature and humidity during transportation.
This project is committed to ethical practices and using technology for responsible fashion production. The framework outlines the principles and processes for future technology developments, ensuring that every aspect of the pashmina ecosystem is tracked from its origin to the final product.
The framework also focuses on the welfare of women and future generations involved in the pashmina industry. It aims to set a standard for responsible fashion production globally. Babar, known as the Pashmina Prince, is a prominent advocate for the authentic Pashmina ecosystem in the Indian Himalayas, representing shepherds, weavers, craftsmen, and craftswomen.
