Between June 2024 and May 2025, we:
🌊 Held 48 weekly beach cleanups
♻️ Collected 15,000+ clothing tags
🚛 Removed 1,500+ tonnes of textiles & plastic waste from the beach

Our Top Brands for Year 2 are those found 48+ times, making them the most familiar #TagUrIt finds. [Thread]

This is what circularity looks like in Ghana @nana_aba_darko! And thank you for coming through and sharing the story from our side.

Every second, a truckload of clothes goes to waste—but in Accra’s Kantamanto Market, that waste is being reimagined to fiberboards for products. We saw how innovation meets impact. Big thanks to @theORispresent ! #EcoBackpacking ♻️

This is what recovery looks like.

We are turning discarded clothes into products that replace plastic, reduce harm, and restore dignity.

[The Or Foundation @theorispresent]

These aren’t just objects — they’re proof that circularity can be locally made and community-powered.

My friends from @theorispresent reached out to discuss how we could introduce some greenery into Kantamanto, and I was all in!

Please see these slides for more on why we do not consider a ban to be a holistic solution & what we are advocating for instead. 2/2

[The Or Foundation @theorispresent]

We are often asked if a ban on secondhand imports is the solution so we are here to clarify — We Do NOT Support a ban! 1/2

[The Or Foundation @theorispresent]

We got a billboard during New York Fashion Week to demand that fashion brands #SoeakVolumes and disclose their annual production numbers

This is the main way we can get to the real work of addressing fast fashion’s waste crisis

37x the Olympic heavyweight world record!

We may be doing some (actual) heavy lifting for these brands, but try as we might, we are no match for infinite production volumes. That’s why we need brands to gather some courage and #SpeakVolumes NOW!

Our team removes over 10 tonnes of textile waste from the beaches of Accra every week. We know this can be hard to imagine, especially since clothing isn’t supposed to be on the beach; so you might be wondering what that looks like? Better yet, what does it feel like? [Thread]
