If nothing else, setting up a facility to incinerate these discarded clothes would have allowed to recover the energy contents of the material. Beside a much cleaner burn - avoiding the disaster of open-air uncontrolled burning. Afaik the EU recently decided to outlaw dumping clothes this way? Basically: retailers buy inventory, then must sell it or find proper channel to re-purpose. Shipping off to less-developed country by the metric ton not allowed any more (similar to regulations around e-waste). So at least some progress there. But I wonder if anything will change concerning this desert dump. Say, same area 10y from now. My guess: probably not much change if any. Law enforcement is weak & the dumpers / dealers are many.
