Ghanian clothing manufacturer DTRT Apparel Group plans to develop its sustainable fabric mills and also expand its garment manufacturing factory near Ghana in collaboration with the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
As per an Engineering News report, cooperation between the two firms will help IFC advance West Africa’s position as an increasingly competitive global textile cluster by exploring the company’s potential to produce synthetic fibres and yarns, including from recycled materials.
West Africa currently lacks an integrated textiles value chain and more advanced manufacturing processes. Its agreement with DTRT is part of the IFC’s strategy to create new markets, increased exports, and more and better jobs in the West African textiles sector.
The agreement will give West Africa an opportunity to build an integrated textiles value chain, creating thousands of better jobs and introducing innovative sustainable fabric production technologies.
