Report: H&M Has Been Trashing Clothes Outside Herald Square
NBC just reported that H&M cuts up unsold clothes and curbs them. I’ve known about this for a while thanks to a lucky find one day where a friend and I ended up with a handful of accessories that were still new and with tags. I thought this was shockingly wasteful, especially in a city where homelessness is so prevalent.
I’m so glad that the media has discovered this. Currently, H&M is dealing with the backlash in real time on their Facebook page, but consumers are extremely upset about it. Furthermore, the company is claiming that this is “an incident”, while I originally found the boxES in March.
