A man walks at a second hand clothes dump site at the Kantamanto Market in Accra, Ghana, on November 15, 2023. Kantamanto market is vast, spanning over 20 acres in the heart of Accra's business district, its stalls dominated by used clothing and shoes from the West and China. Its traders import a staggering 15 million garments a week, according to the OR Foundation environmental group.

Ghana became the world's largest importer of used clothing in 2021, according to the Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC) data site, with garments worth $214 million shipped mostly from China, the United Kingdom and Canada.
