Europeans throw away 2 million tonnes of textiles each year. Every second, the equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles is landfilled or burned. • Many of us donate our unwanted clothes to charity shops and clothing collection banks - but do we really know what happens to them then? • Globally, 70% of our donated clothing is baled and sold to textile merchants who ship them overseas for resale in Sub-Saharan Africa. • Textile Mountain highlights the social and environmental cost of the second-hand clothing trade, tracing the path of our unwanted garments from recycling bins in Europe to landfills and waterways in the Global South. • Shot in Kenya, Ireland and Belgium, this 20 minute documentary calls on us to re-imagine the way the way we design, wear and reuse our clothes - so that our fashion waste no longer becomes another country’s burden. • More: https://www.textilemountainfilm.com/ • #TextileMountain • #fastfashion • #fashionwaste • #kenya • #wardrobechange • #fashion • #textiles • #environment • #Sustainablefashion • Credits: • Filmed edited by Fellipe Lopes • Researched and produced by Caitriona Rogerson • On site research by Lindi Campbell Clause Closing music: • ‘Mazingira Yetu’ by Larry Dwayne Ft Shamir • Produced for https://makeeuropesustainableforall.org/
