The company I'm working for is in the food industry. We used to give away overproduction and returns (returned for "print on the packaging is not 100% on point" nothing wrong with the goods) to local kindergartens and schools and clubs and whoever asked for free. We stopped that after people were complaining that their received goods did not have a good print or that the print somehow was "off-topic" or whatever. Now everything that gets returned is going straight to the trash.
