A charity campaigner has hit out at cut-price clothing retail chain Primark for shredding faulty clothes that she believes could have been given to the needy.
Wilma Henderson, who works for homeless charity St Mungo’s, launched the attack on the company after she saw staff cutting up faulty garments at a branch in East London.
Describing the action as “outrageous”, she said that needy children could still have benefited from the unwanted clothing, particularly those affected by the floods in Pakistan.
Primark declined to comment on the story, but according to media reports it is the company’s policy to destroy faulty clothes so that they cannot be sold in-store by mistake.
