This is what circularity looks like in Ghana @nana_aba_darko! And thank you for coming through and sharing the story from our side.
Every second, a truckload of clothes goes to waste—but in Accra’s Kantamanto Market, that waste is being reimagined to fiberboards for products. We saw how innovation meets impact. Big thanks to @theORispresent ! #EcoBackpacking ♻️

This is what recovery looks like. We are turning discarded clothes into products that replace plastic, reduce harm, and restore dignity.

These aren’t just objects — they’re proof that circularity can be locally made and community-powered.

Support our calls for fashion brands to disclose their production volumes. This is how we can start the important work of tackling the fashion industry’s waste crisis #SpeakVolumes

We are often asked if a ban on secondhand imports is the solution so we are here to clarify — We Do NOT Support a ban! 1/2

Please see these slides for more on why we do not consider a ban to be a holistic solution & what we are advocating for instead. 2/2

We got a billboard during New York Fashion Week to demand that fashion brands #SoeakVolumes and disclose their annual production numbers This is the main way we can get to the real work of addressing fast fashion’s waste crisis Visit speakvolumes.org to lend your voice

Our team removes over 10 tonnes of textile waste from the beaches of Accra every week. We know this can be hard to imagine, especially since clothing isn’t supposed to be on the beach; so you might be wondering what that looks like? Better yet, what does it feel like? [Thread]

37x the Olympic heavyweight world record! We may be doing some (actual) heavy lifting for these brands, but try as we might, we are no match for infinite production volumes. That’s why we need brands to gather some courage and #SpeakVolumes NOW!
