Cape Town Executive Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis was on hand at the Safe Spaces Shelter in Green Point for the delivery of the first batch out of 2,500 sleeping bags made from upcycled store marketing materials and recycled fabric waste filling supplied by TFG.
TFG has partnered Safe Spaces within the City of Cape Town as the key beneficiary of these sleeping bags, with the first 200 sleeping bags being donated at this event.
Production of the sleeping bags is facilitated by TCB’s Remake Programme, which supports enterprise development and accelerates economic opportunities for previously unemployed women.
The project helps divert textile waste from TFG’s operations while upskilling unemployed South Africans through entrepreneurship in the circular economy.
