NAIROBI - The Bestseller Foundation, the charitable arm of the Danish retailer, is investing in a new textile waste recycling initiative in the Kenyan capital city of Nairobi.
The charity has entered into partnership with local waste management company, TakaTaka Solutions, to launch a new subsidiary, TakaTaka Textile Recycling, to process textile waste.
The first project is to pilot a scalable textile recycling model for Kenya, and beyond, by leveraging TakaTaka Solutions’ waste collection capacity and by setting up a textile sorting centre and recycling plant.
