Brands’ clothing waste fuelling Cambodia’s brick factories

The clothing waste of at least 19 global fashion brands, including Adidas, C&A, Disney, Gap, Lululemon, Primark, Reebok and Walmart, is contributing to human rights and environmental damage in Cambodia’s brick factories, according to a new report.

The study by the Cambodian League for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights (LICADHO) was based on visits to 21 brick factories in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh and the neighbouring province of Kandal, as well as interviews with current and former workers.
