     @camille current estimates I read a month ago is clothing enough for 5 generations in and out of circulation. If the chemicals hold that long might be another question

     The fact that this chemical recycling nonsense is their idea of the best path forward. Yeah, it could help but you know what else would help? A MORATORIUM on clothing production. I'd wager we have enough clothes on the planet to keep us all stylish and warm for at least another decade if not more.
