Where was the outrage... Oh that's right no bLck people asking to be treated equally. British luxury goods maker Burberry has announced that it will stop the pr...actice of burning unsold goods, with immediate effect. The fashion label also said it would stop using real fur in its products, and would phase out existing fur items. In July, an earnings report revealed that Burberry destroyed unsold clothes, accessories and perfume worth 28.6m in 2017 to protect its brand. The news had led to an angry response from environmental campaigners. At the time, the retailer said that 2017 had been unusual as it had to destroy 10m worth of old perfume products after signing a new deal with US firm Coty. Fashion firms including Burberry destroy unwanted items to prevent them being stolen or sold cheaply. The fight to end fashion's silence on its waste problem Stella McCartney: Fashion is swamping our planet Global demand for old clothes declines 'Much-needed sign' Burberry said it already reused, repaired, donated or recycled unsold products, but it would continue to increase these efforts. Environmental campaigning group Greenpeace told the BBC: "Burberry's decision to stop incinerating its overstock is a much-needed sign of a change of mind in the fashion industry. "Because fashion is a high-volume business with more than 100 billion garments produced each year, consumers' closets are already overflowing with unworn clothes - creating an overstock problem for many companies. "It's high time for the whole fashion industry to start dealing with overstock at its source: by slowing down production and re-thinking the way it does business."
