That is a slightly different scenario than taking cheap "fast fashion waste", compressing it into bales, shoving it into shipping containers, transporting/dumping it and flooding local countries/markets. (And many of these large shipments do not end-up as donations by the time they get to their destination, but are actually sold by weight and then resold again) But yes - distribution/logistics of donated goods needed to those who need them should be a "solved problem", but unfortunately it is not - regulations could help. (In countries/regions where governments actually WANT to regulate and then subsequently FOLLOW the regulations rather than cancel, ignore or throw them out entirely... Pretty sure everyone knows which country I am referring too...) | ||

I would hope that that will also be a policy area the EU addresses as part of this regulatory push. | ||
