Summary

The European Union has officially banned large fashion companies from destroying unsold clothing, accessories, and footwear, requiring brands to resell, donate, repair, or recycle excess inventory instead. Chris Walton is joined by Alex Brakebill and Brandon Pezely to discuss whether the legislation will genuinely change fashion retail or simply encourage companies to find new loopholes. They also explore what the regulation could mean for inventory management and sustainability worldwide. ▶️ Watch the full Fast Five episode here: https://youtu.be/Jb1AcsK9Ri0
