>About half of the items marked for destruction were still in their shrink-wrap, while the other half were returned items in good condition, they said.

They're destroying new products too!

'In good condition' and appearing to still be in original shrink-wrap isn't good enough to sell as new to a consumer though.

You can try to offload it via a box of junk auction, and they do do that, but I'm not sure how tractable it is at scale.

Counterfeit, recalled, hazardous, unlicensed, etc items can all be "new". And need to be destroyed.

The article is heavy on implication and light on facts.

They are destroying things for a reason, which isn't given. It could be a bad reason of course, but probably isn't.
