In the picture: stack of unwanted British clothing rinse Ghana's beaches

Mountains of unwanted clothing are rinsed on the beaches of ACCRA, while new photos show the damage that the British “Fast Fashion” industry does in Ghana.

According to the converting expert, the British second-hand clothing market is flooded by an oversupply of inferior items that cannot be resold.

Some of them are sent to countries at the other end of the world-imports that originally created threading second-hand markets, but are now overwhelming their recycling infrastructure.

According to the sustainability organization Wrap,

ghana is one of the main recipients of used clothing from the United Kingdom, of which 70 percent are sent to overseas.





But almost half of the imported clothing that Ghana receives cannot be resold because it is either of such low quality or these are personalized one-offs that nobody wants to have T-shirts for hiring or new sports equipment.

These undesirable objects end up on landfolter and pollute rivers, beaches and the sea.

ghana is not the only country that is damaged by Great Britain's fast fashion habits. An estimated 39,000 tons of clothing from industrialized countries in the Chilean Atacama desert are deposited every year.

The USA is the world's largest exporter of second-hand clothing; Great Britain is the second.
