A new study by the IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, commissioned by Humana Lithuania, examines the export of second-hand clothing from Sweden to Kenya. Tracing the journey from collection and sorting to resale, the report dispels the myth of “clothes dumping” in Africa. Instead, it finds that the second-hand clothing trade supports a circular economy, creates jobs, and delivers environmental and economic benefits to both Europe and Kenya. The research emphasizes the importance of quality control and highlights Kenya’s robust mitumba market.
