Ok, let's say that happens. Seems like a net win over throwing all of them in a burn pit.

Not quite when you are burning a ton of fuel to ship them overseas to arrive in the burn pit.

I live in the US, but I would hope the EU doesn't have "burn pits".

But the 3rd world country they are about to be shipped to definitely does have burn pits that will incinerate both 1) any remaining unsold inventory, and 2) the older clothes that are replaced with the fancy european stuff.

Or better yet, they'll just be thrown into the river like most other things in Africa and SE Asia...

All you're doing is outsourcing your own pollution to make yourself feel better. It's idiotic.
