ABOUT US

We are a social enterprise operating across three key areas: environmental, social, and economic.

We promote the employment of people with disabilities and other socially excluded individuals through a model based on textile waste management, as well as the production and sale of high-quality, innovative textile products made from ecological and recycled materials for domestic and international markets. We contribute to the sustainable development of the local community, poverty reduction, and nature conservation.

Our team consists of 56 employees, including 33 people with disabilities and 20 individuals from other marginalized groups.

SUSTAINABLE FASHION

Sustainable fashion is not just a trend, but a revolution that is changing the way we look at our clothes and their production. Sustainable fashion today, saves the world tomorrow.

WHAT WE DO

WE MANAGE TEXTILE SURPLUSES

We responsibly manage the textiles that come to us and create new value through recycling, redesign, and reuse.

WE OPERATE ACCORDING TO THE PRINCIPLES OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

We believe sustainability only makes sense when it is embedded in all aspects of business—and that’s exactly how we operate, every single day.

WE DESIGN, SEW AND CREATE SUSTAINABLE FASHION

Instead of fast fashion, we choose slow fashion—unique, high-quality, and sustainable, with a clear social and environmental mission.

WE PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

We conduct trainings on circular economy and social entrepreneurship, showcasing our work in practice.

WE EMPLOY SOCIALLY EXCLUDED GROUPS

We offer opportunities to people facing barriers to employment due to disability, long-term unemployment, or other challenges.

WE CUT AND SEW BASED ON PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION

For us, sustainability isn’t a trend—it’s a responsibility. We follow the principles of ethical and sustainable production in every item we create.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY

By repurposing textiles, we reduce waste, save resources, and create jobs for those who need them most. By employing people from marginalized groups, we help build a more inclusive community—and reinvest our profits into further development.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY IN PRACTICE

For us, sustainability and circularity are not just concepts—they are woven into every part of our business. What does that look like in practice?

PURPOSE

Our purpose is to create a system that is fair to people and responsible toward the planet. Through sustainable production, employment of vulnerable groups, and promotion of the circular economy, we are building a more resilient and inclusive future for all.

PEOPLE

Humana Nova employs 56 people, more than 50% of whom are persons with disabilities. Every day, 33 people with disabilities and 20 members of marginalized groups create new value— for the community, the environment, and the future.

PLANET

Through our textile waste management model, we have collected over 5,000 tonnes of textiles to date. In 2024 alone, we collected a record 723 tonnes—significantly reducing waste and preserving natural resources.

INVESTMENT

As a social enterprise registered as a non-profit business, we reinvest all our profits into our work and development. This allows us to stay true to our values and continuously improve what we do.

CORE VALUES

The core values of our collective are respect, tolerance, trust, and responsibility. We uphold these values every day within our team—and apply them equally in our relationships with clients, partners, and the local community. We believe they are the foundation for building strong, lasting, and sustainable relationships.
