Burberry stops setting fire to unsold clothes

Burberry is not the only brand known to have destroyed unsold products, which retailers have described as a measure to protect intellectual property and prevent illegal counterfeiting.

An investigation last year found that Swedish high street retailer H&M had incinerated 60 tons of clothes since 2013.

In its statement on Thursday, Burberry also said it would stop using real fur in its products, and phase out existing fur items.
