Sympany

Sympany is a Dutch non-governmental organisation that collects second-hand clothing and shoes for reuse and recycling. It operates through clothing containers in public spaces and through collection campaigns. All usable clothing and footwear is sold and reused in Eastern Europe and Africa. The entire net proceeds from these collection activities were previously used to finance projects in countries such as Malawi, Angola, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In 2019, Sympany changed course and since then has invested in the circular textile chain. Sympany was formed in 2015 from a merger between KICI, founded in 1975, and Humana.

Sympany was formed in 2015 through a merger between KICI, which was founded in 1975, and Humana. KICI had been active in collecting second-hand clothing and shoes in the Netherlands. Humana was also involved in textile collection and charitable projects. After the merger, Sympany continued the collection activities, using clothing containers in public spaces and collection campaigns. The collected usable clothing and footwear was sold and reused in Eastern Europe and Africa. The net proceeds were initially used to finance projects in countries such as Malawi, Angola, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In 2019, Sympany changed its course and since then has invested in the circular textile chain, reflecting a shift towards sustainability and circular economy principles.
