Humana at Biocultura
Around 70,000 people, according to the organization, visited Biocultura during the four days of the fair. Many of them went through Humana booth to learn more about work being carried out around cooperation, development education, social farming, textile recycling and sustainable fashion.
Visitors were interested in the fate of the clothing worn, the countries that are carried out cooperation programs, the location of the containers of clothing and footwear, or the type of clothing that can be purchased in Humana stores. Also showed interest in the actions that promote awareness and the Human Day. The large audience showed great sensitivity to environmental issues and the process of recovery of the clothes.
The show has proven to be an excellent showcase for initiatives that are taking place in the realm of sustainable bio, which is textile recycling important piece. It is, also, an event in which the good atmosphere, solidarity and environmental protection are mixed in equal parts.
Recycling textile, fashion and development cooperation
On Friday 26 Humana organized the workshop "The textile recycling, recycled fashion and development cooperation", which highlighted the virtues of sustainable fashion and respect for the environment. Also addressed the impact of textile production in our environment, considering that it is estimated that a person buys about 16 kg of textiles annually.
