00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the R.E.D.I.M.E. website.

00:05When we talk about environmental pollution,

00:07we usually don't think of clothes at first.

00:10But in fact, every piece of clothing from a fashion store

00:13will be thrown away on average within a year.

00:15The waste produced by the world every year

00:18reaches 90 million tons.

00:20And the number is constantly increasing.

00:22So how do we make second-hand clothes cheap

00:26to reduce the key to prevent waste?

00:29In Uganda, there is an entrepreneur

00:31who makes second-hand jeans

00:34and then sells them for a living.

00:37He hopes to reduce waste,

00:39reduce environmental pollution,

00:40and contribute to the future of the earth.

00:44In the city of Kampala, the capital of Uganda,

00:47the second-hand clothing shops are lined up

00:49to form a unique landscape.

00:51This country with a population of 4 million people

00:53is not developed in the textile industry,

00:55so they import 80,000 tons of second-hand clothing from Europe and the United States every year.

00:58However, some vendors say

01:00that these second-hand clothes are not as easy to sell as they seem,

01:02and are often subject to cancellation.

01:04But a local entrepreneur saw an opportunity.

01:07They recycled the lost jeans and corner pieces

01:10and turned them into new fashion items

01:12to create unique, trendy clothing.

01:14We are trying to protect our environment

01:16by using sustainable material.

01:18So we try and reuse denim that has been thrown or put to waste.

01:22So that's where the first process starts with,

01:24sourcing the wasted denim or the offcuts of denim,

01:28sourcing materials,

01:30and then we look at now bringing it into our factory,

01:33where we start cutting out patterns and pieces

01:35to add specific designs.

01:37These jeans that have been given a new life

01:40start at $60,

01:42and are loved by local celebrities, artists, and fashion enthusiasts.

01:45They are also becoming a popular item.

01:48I love the authenticity about the products here.

01:51I love the creativity.

01:53I believe they really think out of the box

01:55and try and repurpose denim.

01:58It gives denim more depth

02:02and makes us appreciate denim more.

02:04Because these products are well-received,

02:06sellers have decided to increase production.

02:09This not only helps promote the local second-hand clothing market,

02:12but also hopes that one day,

02:13these recycled clothes will be exported

02:15back to the place where they were first thrown away.
