The Quality of Second Hand Clothes Imported to Kenya and the Associated Environmental Impacts Webinar Report Launch.

The global trade in second-hand clothing is back in focus as delegates meet in Geneva, Switzerland, for the 15th meeting of the Open-ended Working Group under the Basel Convention. The discussions, taking place until 26 June, are expected to shape international policies on textile waste, circularity, and the cross-border movement of used clothing. For many African countries, the outcomes could have far-reaching implications for employment, livelihoods, and the growing reuse economy. Thami Ngubeni speaks to Teresiah Wairimu Njenga of the Mitumba Consortium Association of Kenya about what these negotiations could mean for Africa and the future of the second-hand clothing sector. #AfricaInBusiness #ChannelAfrica #SecondHandClothing #Mitumba #TextileWaste #CircularEconomy #BaselConvention #Sustainability #AfricanEconomy #ReuseEconomy #Trade #Kenya
