Last week it was discovered that H&M in Sweden (Hennes & Mauritz B (HMB)) hired a company for their textile recycling that did not properly manage its commitments.
Admittedly, H&M paid the company for a service that was not fulfilled according to purchased commitments, but I would bet my life that the service was competitively procured where the cheapest option was contracted.
For every bag of clothes that you hand in to an H&M store, you get a digital bonus discount of $4 and 200 membership points as a thank you for your help. For which you can buy additional items of clothing. H&M offers this service in all its stores around the world.
To check how this recycling works, a couple of journalists mounted 1 air tag in 10 pieces of clothing and handed them in to different H&M stores.
Certain items of clothing were sold on the second-hand market both in Europe, India and Africa, some items of clothing also ended up in giant landfills consisting entirely of clothing, for example in Africa.
H&M knows you can't pay for a Hyundai and get a Bentley...
