One of the anger-inducing stories of the year so far was the revelation that Amazon has been destroying millions of pounds in unsold stock, even though it's perfectly good.
Food, electronics (including huge TVs), baby products were all seen being put into a trash compactor in an expose on French TV.

Now, after a wealth of pushback, Amazon has announced a scheme that will allow the unused stock to be donated, rather than destroyed.
From 1st September, donating will be the standard option for stock disposal, with goods only being destroyed if the seller opts out.

"We know getting products into the hands of those who need them transforms lives and strengthens local communities," said Alice Shobe, Director, Amazon in the Community. "We are delighted to extend this program to sellers who use our fulfilment services."
