In this blog post, we invite you to think more critically about the promises of sustainability made by companies using recycled plastics in their clothing. How sustainable is it to use recycled plastics in fashion? What are the opportunities and what are the challenges? By asking these questions, we want to illustrate the importance of understanding all the unintended consequences that may emerge as we try to innovate for sustainable change.
