Don't be surprised if products are sent abroad for destr^Wrecycling.
No I am not joking, some german company hid an airtag in a old computer that went to recycling. It ended up somewhere in Thailand, being not very environmentally friendly taken care of.
Remember when UK council recycling bags were found in rubbish dumps in the Myanmar jungle?

Not just that. I have seen Morrisons supermarket bags in some weird places around the world!
sure, but within an EU context, the company should still get fined as if they destroyed it themselves
How do you know was destroyed when all official records say it’s recycled?
By investigating said recycling process? I mean, if a company can figure out that vendo X is a shadowy cloth-destruction syndicate, that state can as well, then that vendor can be banned from doing business in the EU or the companies dealing with them can be fined.
