Outdoor collection makes the service available 24\/7.<\/p>\n<p>We have supported development projects for over 20 years, contributing to education, healthcare, community and environmental projects in Angola, Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe and Zambia.

Items are sorted into more than 100 different categories. 80% end up in reuse and 15% for recycling. Unfortunately, 5% is waste, such as broken shoes or toys, for which there are no recycling options.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/humanae.ee\/en\/clothes-collection\/\">Check out<\/a>\u00a0what suits in the clothing container and what does not.<\/p>\n<p>Humana stores offer everyone the opportunity to consume sustainable fashion, reduce the demand for new clothes and be unique.
