EU bans destruction of unsold fashion/footwear, advancing circular economy and climate action. | The EU's ban on destroying unsold fashion and footwear directly advances SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption) and SDG 13 (Climate Action) by reducing waste and promoting sustainable practices. It aligns with planetary boundaries by limiting novel entities (textile waste) and landfill use, with no discernible ethical downsides in this action.
