ELNAK RECYCLE | About Us

Our Story



Founded in Ghana, ELNAK Recycle is on the journey to transforming textile waste from local and international markets into highly efficient, eco-friendly insulation panels and more.

What began as a research-driven initiative by model and engineer, Emma Forson, has grown into a movement- repurposing textile waste through R&D, donating clothing and creating jobs for immigrant women.

We champion a circular fashion economy, proving that sustainability and style can coexist across multiple industries.
