Without knowing any details and thinking about this for just a min, i dont think this actually makes sense.

Most of this stuff AFAIK is destroyed to keep brand value or as the cheapest solution to oversupply.

Oversupply is less likely because it costs more, and the cost of removal now at minimum is the cost of a shipment.

For actual good clothes, the company can now decide if they want to pay more to destroy it elsewhere in an attempt to hold brand value, or simply not put in a destruction clause in the sales contract before it is shipped off and maybe make a bit of profit.
