ACT’s first impact report 2023
ACT releases its first Annual Impact Report, showcasing how local textile recovery systems create circularity, save resources, and generate green jobs across Africa.
We are excited to present to you our first Annual Impact Report 2023!
In recent years we built contextualized collection, sorting and upcycling systems for textiles. We unlock global fashion circularity while creating green jobs in Africa.
To prove the impact we measure our impact based on selected SDG’s; focusing on gender equality, poverty reduction and responsible consumption and more specifically kilo’s of fashion-waste saved from landfills and rivers, CO2 and water savings and direct and in-direct job creation (for women).
