Which labels verify farming, which verify chemistry, which verify recycled content — and the four questions that separate a certification from a self-declared badge.
Chemical recycling can turn a worn shirt back into virgin-grade fiber — here is what works at scale, what is still pilot-stage, and how to read a garment's recyclability.
A $400 coat worn 200 times beats a $60 coat worn six — the calculation, its honest limitations, and the wardrobe rules it produces.
