    1. Recycled polyester Is polyester made from PET bottles or textile waste.

      This statement utilizes misleading language by framing the use of PET plastic bottles as a sustainable, closed-loop innovation. In textile science, converting plastic bottles into polyester clothing is a linear path, not a circular economy. While a plastic bottle can be recycled back into a bottle multiple times within a closed loop, once it is melted down and spun into a fast-fashion garment blend, it can almost never be recycled again. H&M's wording misleads consumers into thinking they are supporting a sustainable ecosystem, when they are actually fast-tracking single-use plastic bottles to a landfill.
