The DOEN Foundation supports ACT
With support from the DOEN Foundation, ACT diverts unwanted textiles from landfills by building local collection systems that turn waste into new possibilities.
Did you know that the fashion industry is one of the biggest contributors to environmental pollution?
Through the support of The DOEN Foundation, we have been able to divert old and unwanted textiles from landfills and rivers. This is through the established collection infrastructure that helps us encourage the locals to drop off their unwanted textiles which are in turn sorted and upcycled.
