Used fast fashion, low quality, doesn't find a market when it arrives in Africa

15m items of used clothing arrive in just Ghana every week, sent from the first world. Lots of people go through this clothing to sell it in used clothing stores. More and more of what arrives is 'fast fashion,' which is low quality and doesn't last long.

There are fields of garbage that include a lot of this clothing (estimated 40% of used clothing that arrives in Ghana goes there).
