Speaking of Sustainability...

Back in January, NYT ran an article about H&M mutilating new, unsold merchandise to make room for new merchandise while preventing underground sales.  I don't consider myself an environmentalist, but I hate waste.  Why pitch when you or someone else can reuse?  After seeing Leftover Green Beans one-of-a-kind garments, I wondered if there is a way to make this more commercial friendly?  Could H&M's unsold garments be reused to make funkier clothing?  If not by H&M, I'm sure another company could use them or even be built around the idea of using leftovers?  I wouldn't be surprised if something similar already exists.
