A coalition of global second-hand clothing industry leaders and trade bodies, has raised alarm over the United Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP) handling of its "Circularity and Used Textile Trade Project."

In an open letter, the group, led by the Ghana Used Clothing Dealers' Association,  accuses UNEP of relying on unverified data and rushing consultations on guidelines meant to distinguish between reusable clothing and textile waste, a move they warn could undermine global textile sustainability efforts.

To further discuss this is Atobrah Edward Brinkley, General Secretary of the Ghana Used Clothes Dealers' Association
