Here’s everything you need to know about a kid’s brand that takes conscious steps to reduce plastic waste in collaboration with TDC.
The fashion industry is recognized globally as one of the most environmentally damaging sectors, primarily because of the immense waste and emissions generated throughout clothing production and disposal. However, in recent times, numerous Indian designers and brands have taken proactive measures to tackle these issues by adopting sustainable practices.
An essential aspect influencing the sustainable fashion market in India is the notable impact of Indian celebrities and influencers on shaping consumer behavior. One such example is ED-A-Mamma, founded by Alia Bhatt in 2020. It’s a sustainable apparel brand for kids.
Ed-A-Mamma combines fashion with nature through storytelling
Ed-a-Mamma, a mindful apparel brand, holds a deep concern for both children and the environment. The founder brings together her utmost passions: The Planet and the Children. Utilizing her expertise in storytelling, Ed-a-Mamma endeavors to weave captivating narratives, recognizing the universal appeal and power of a well-told story.
Their fabrics are all plant-based and biodegradable. They use safe dyes that are AZO-free. Their garments have plastic-free buttons and nickel-free metal trims. However, with every garment, you get a seed ball that you can sow in your garden.
Plastic Neutrality Journey
Ed-A-Mamma collaborated with The Disposal Company to make a comprehensive commitment to protect the environment from plastic pollution. They bring an innovative way for the customers to show gratitude to mother earth. Whenever you purchase from their website you can opt to donate ₹ 1/- as a plastic neutrality contribution. As a result, TDC will recycle 40 gm of pre-existing plastic waste from landfills on your behalf. Also, TDC will send you an E-Certificate for your contribution to join us in making a cleaner and greener future.
So, whenever you make a purchase on Ed-A-Mamma’s website, you can contribute towards plastic neutrality.

In this scenario, Ed-A-Mamma is showing the path to other brands that have not found alternatives to plastic packaging. They also teach children the importance of tree plantation through their products. They have a campaign called #plantabeej where children are encouraged to send pictures of their garden.
Their ‘Reuse, Reduce, Recycle’ initiative helps children to understand the significance of donating old clothes to others. Alia Bhatt, the founder encourages other brands to implement sustainable practices by saying — “Because no matter who we are, no matter what we do, we all have one planet in common. And we’re all children of mother earth”.
