Costco Fashion vs. The Environment

In this episode of the "No Plastic in My Closet" podcast, host Emma Weng sits down with guest Andrew Weng to peel back the layers of what we wear. From checking clothing tags to debating the comfort of cotton versus synthetics, they explore the surprising reality of how much plastic—like polyester, spandex, and elastane—is hidden in our everyday wardrobes.

Emma and Andrew discuss the challenges consumers face when trying to balance affordability, personal comfort, and environmental impact. They also dive into the difficulties of recycling textiles and float the idea of "environmental impact labels"—similar to nutrition labels on food—to help us make more informed choices about the products we bring into our homes.
