The fashion industry is often cited as the most polluting global industry behind those of oil and gas and industrial animal agriculture. Apparently, counter-productive tax incentives are presently rewarding importers for burning and landfilling unsold clothes rather than recycling or donating them. So, we taxpayers are subsidizing self-destructive environmental pollution and wasted resources and it is high time to stop the madness. In the meantime, consumer intolerance is a critical catalyst for change.
British luxury fashion brand Burberry is going to stop burning unsold clothes, bags and perfume, and will instead focus on recycling and donating their leftover product. Here is a direct video link.
