This is the gap we need to talk about!

Ever wondered where the excess of clothes that Kenya Imports for resale end up if they can not be resold?

Every year, thousands of tonnes of second hand clothing enters Kenya, and when the textiles have no pathway beyond resale, they can become waste, ending up in dumpsites or being burned.

Africa Collect Textiles, is working to change what happens to your textiles by creating systems for collecting, sorting, reusing and recovering textiles.

A circular textile economy isn't just about buying less or wearing longer. It's also about building the infrastructure to deal with what comes next.

Meet Eunice, an ACT employee whose resilience inspires us every day.

Despite living with a severe hearing impairment, she continues to show up with dedication and determination.

We are raising funds to help her purchase hearing aids that will significantly improve her communication, confidence, and overall quality of life. Your support, no matter the amount, will bring Eunice one step closer to hearing the world more clearly.

Together, we can make a lasting difference. Thank you for standing with Eunice and showing that kindness truly changes lives.

Sorting is a skilled labour.
It takes training, speed, and attention to detail.
Behind every kilo collected is someone earning a living!

Circular economy = real jobs

Sometimes garments lose their purpose and need to be replaced. But that doesn’t have to be the end of their story!

We found a way to maximize the use and longevity of used uniforms by transforming them into something new: overalls and dustcoats! ♻️

Seeing them back in use, shining amongst the flowers, is a lovey reminder of what circularity can look like in practice; turning “waste” into something useful, practical and beautiful.

Many industries depend on textiles everyday. Security uniforms, workwear, linens, curtains, tents and other textile materials eventually reach the end of their intended use but can enjoy a new life elsewhere. Connecting those dots is what inspires us every day!

An end doesn't have to be THE end.

Thank you Kordes for trusting us with this order and helping keep textiles in use for longer.

Before throwing everything into one pile, separate your clothes, footwear, linens and other textiles.

Separating your textiles is a simple step that can help prevent waste!

It makes it easier for them to be sorted, reused, repaired, upcycled or recycled.

Small changes in how we handle what we no longer need can help keep valuable materials in circulation for longer.

Separate. Collect. Give textiles another life.

“When you donate clothes to ACT, here’s the journey:

1️⃣ Collection
2️⃣ Transport to facility
3️⃣ Manual sorting
4️⃣ Resale, upcycling, or recycling
5️⃣ Data tracking & impact reporting

We don’t just collect.
We build systems.

Africa doesn’t need to be a dumping ground.
We are building circular solutions locally.

Your clothes create change.”

This is where the real work happens.

Inside ACT’s sorting facility, every donated item is manually assessed.

We separate textiles by:
• Reusable
• Repairable
• Upcyclable
• Recyclable

Not everything survives the process — and that’s the reality of textile waste.

But instead of landfill or burning, we create solutions.

We track every kilo.
We create dignified jobs.
We keep textiles in circulation.

Transparency builds trust.
And this is what circular infrastructure looks like.
