Keep dumping your problems to Africa to deal with them. While keeping a hypocritical ecological front
Not surprising, the EU is at its core an imperialist project.
The negative effects of EU regulations on the global south as well as its own internal periphery aren't discussed enough.
for every anti-tech monopoly law the EU makes, the counterbalance is a law favoring the fast fashion industry. I suppose that instead of destroying them, they’d need to be sold in a second hand clothes store or to be refurbished, and not just dumped into Africa or China… right?

Isn't that, like, better than just destroying them tho? I get it this is a pretty mild and inconsequantial reform in the grand scheme of things but it feels like you're just being contrarian for the sake of it.
I have owned up to my mistake and noted that I did not think of my argument thoroughly here, as noted by how Adriaan said this.
However, all I was attempting to say was that I was concerned over what the implication of this law was, and another comment did raise the concern that, instead of destroying the clothes altogether, they would still be dumped. At least not destroyed anymore, just left there to rot.
