In a few words

Kamon sustainable Design is a climate action conscious business that turns textile waste into high-end designs creating jobs for the youth in Takoradi. We seek to reduce textile waste in our locality by gathering and recycling worn-out cloth(jeans) in to bags for student, workers, and the general public. Textile waste is the next big problem we are facing as a country. So, turning these textiles into bags is helping save the environment from harm from burning this waste. We are also creating jobs for ourselves who sew the bags and the youth who retail our products for us as well. Since this serves as a cheaper means for the business, we are able to produce more at a cheaper price so that all can afford our products and in so doing be able to sell more and make enough gains that will sustain the business’ activities and support its workers in future.
