The J.C. Penney Co, 1996
A huge new dumpsite is expanding in a protected nature site that is home to rare birds and turtle species.
Fashion waste from well-known brands like Penneys, Zara and Marks & Spencer has been found exported from Europe and dumped in massive quantities in Ghana in fragile areas of nature. Greenpeace’s investigative unit Unearthed and its Africa branch have gathered photographic evidence and footage of discarded clothes at a huge new dumpsite expanding in a protected nature site that is home to rare birds and turtle species. The team found garments discarded by from high street brands in areas at or close to two open-air waste dumps that recently appeared inside the Densu Delta – designated as a habitat of “international importance” under the Convention on Wetlands. One of the dumps, Glefe, has been established for four years, according to Google Earth historical images, and is taller than a two-storey building in places. The second, Akkaway is less than a year old but rapidly expanding, Greenpeace said. Clothes from Zara, H&M and Penneys were also found at a third dump on a riverbank outside the nature reserve, from where fashion waste often floats downstream, polluting the wetlands.
