The Problem

Ghana's Textile Crisis

According to a 2024 report by the Human Rights Research Centre, Ghana receives about 15 million tonnes of garments each week from the Global North. Every year, millions of tonnes of textile waste, remnants from our tailors and about 40% of deadstock, end up in our landfills and oceans.

The fashion industry is the second largest polluter in the world. In Ghana, fast fashion waste is choking our rivers, beaches, and communities.

"At Refab, we believe that the solution is already in our hands, literally. The very scraps and discarded garments flooding Ghana are our raw material."
