On Nairobi Fashion Week's Catwalk at the weekend upcycled silks and reworked denim.

Kenyan designers embracing a decarbonized theme urging slower, longer lasting fashion.

肯亞設計師們擁抱去碳化主題，呼籲更慢、更持久的時尚。

But that sits in some contrast with scenes unfolding elsewhere in the Kenyan capital.

但這與肯亞首都其他地方正在發生的景象形成對比。

The bales of second hand clothing unloaded at Gikomba market sustain a huge number of livelihoods.

在 Gikomba 市場卸下的二手衣物貨物批，支撐了許多人的生計。

But it's an influx that also fuels a mounting textile waste crisis on the run.

但這股湧入也加劇了紡織品廢棄危機。

Designer John Kaweche showcased a collection made from 80% upcycled materials.

設計師 John Kaweche 展示了一個由 80% 再生利用材料製成的系列。

So I bought a lot of these fabrics that you saw in the collection, all from the second hand market, local markets, the Gikomba.

所以我買了很多你們在系列中看到的這些布料，全都是從二手市場、當地市場、Gikomba 來的。

So I used those ones and created pieces that can still be they look like fresh.

He argues that so called circular design can deliver beauty while reducing fashion's environmental footprint.

他認為所謂的循環設計，可以在展現美麗的同時，減少時尚的環境足跡。

And in Kenya, that footprint can be vast.

在肯亞，這個環境足跡可能非常龐大。

The country imported 206,000 metric tons of second hand clothing in the year to March 2024.

截至 2024 年 3 月的這一年，該國進口了 206,000 公噸的二手衣物。

The exports primarily arriving from China and the West.

出口主要來自中國和西方國家。

But in Gikomba, seller Nelson Kamau says what they receive can be a lottery.

不過在 Gikomba，賣家 Nelson Kamau 表示，他們收到的貨物就像在開獎一樣。

You can open a bill and find that the quality and the fashion that you require to have is not going the same with what you have in the mind and what the customers do require.

你打開一貨物批，可能會發現你想要的品質和時尚風格，跟你的想法以及顧客的需求並不一致。

And in those circumstances, discarded clothing can end up in dump sites like this.

在這種情況下，被丟棄的衣物可能會被送到像這樣的垃圾場。

Greenpeace Africa's Helen Cajaso Dina said the secondhand clothing sector does support a large population of traders.

Greenpeace Africa 的 Helen Cajaso Dina 表示，二手衣物產業確實支撐了大量的商販。

I think what we are calling really and we are putting pushing really is for the global north to stop dumping and for the local government to ensure that there is stringent measures at the port of entry, where we are saying if anything is of low quality, then we will not accept.

我認為我們真正呼籲和極力推動的是，北方國家停止傾倒，並且地方政府要確保在入境口岸有嚴格的措施，我們說如果品質低劣，我們就不會接受。

Regulators say enforcement is beginning to catch up.

監管機構表示，執法行動正開始跟上。

The director of Kenya's National Environment Management Agency said progress is being made, though recycling capacity remains weak and many imports are low quality.

肯亞國家環境管理署署長表示，雖然回收能力仍有待加強，且許多進口商品品質低劣，但情況正在改善。

For some, however, one person's waste is another's treasure.

不過，對某些人來說，別人的垃圾就是自己的寶藏。

At the city dump site, designer Morgan Azadi scavenges discarded garments for his label Kenyan Raw.

在城市的垃圾場裡，設計師 Morgan Azadi 為他的品牌 Kenyan Raw 尋找被丟棄的衣物。

It's a way, he says, that he can combine his two passions, his love for fashion and his love for the environment.

他說，這是一種結合他兩大熱情的方式，也就是他對時尚的熱愛以及對環境的熱愛。
