Ghana and UNIDO are advancing plans for a Circular Economy Innovation and Textile Testing Centre to address textile waste and foster industrial development. Funded by Italy, the project aims to enhance the textile sector's circular economy solutions, providing testing services and identifying applications for discarded textiles.

Ghana faces significant textile waste challenges, with 15 million garments arriving weekly, leading to pollution. The initiative aligns with ongoing efforts in the Ghana Circular Economy Centre, which focuses on sustainable practices and industrial growth.
