We're no strangers to teams contributing to circularity in fashion and textiles here at Wege Prize (shout out to @banofileather, Rethread Africa, and Eco Nasi). So, it's exciting to see this year's #ZeroWasteDay calls for a shift towards circular fashion. un.org/en/observances…




📣 University of Cape Coast (UCC) students! The #CRFAS Call for Proposals is OPEN! Passionate about #ClimateResearch in Africa? Apply for funding & mentorship in areas like #CircularEconomy, #WASH, #AirPollution & more. Deadline: May 11 Apply: bit.ly/crfas_call4pro… #AYCF #YouthForClimate








Finally, meet Rethread Africa of Kenya. Formerly 2024 semifinalists, this team is replacing traditional plastic synthetic fabrics with PHA biopolymers from organic waste that fully biodegrades in a natural environment without the need for industrial composting. Rethread Africa
