Poisened Gifts – From donations to the dumpsite: textiles waste disguised as second-hand clothes exported to East Africa

Greenpeace Germany went to Kenya and Tanzania to witness the problem of imported textile waste in these countries and to find out about some of the many local initiatives trying to counter it through their own means. This briefing reveals the role played by imported used clothes called “Mitumba” in East Africa, and how much of it is of such poor quality that it goes straight to the dumpsite.
