All right, what do you got there?
Oh, me first?
You first.
Okay.
I found something that I thought was very interesting.
Um, an article I found says that the European Union is prohibiting the destruction of unsold clothing and footwear starting in July of 2026, and it's gonna require fashion companies to adopt sustainable inventory practices.
So I think it's gonna target, like, waste, especially in fast fashion, where large amounts of inventory are discarded instead of reused or repurposed.
So it's gonna change the way that brands, um, sell and make their product, and they're gonna have to rethink how they produce and manage their stock.
So instead of disposal, they are gonna have to explore options like recycling, donation, um, and improve their production planning.
So they really are gonna have to change the way they make their garments and maybe do more of the, what we talked about with Greg, with the recycled poly.
Right, the one that, uh-
Um, where that-
Yeah, in like three years it, it dissipates
It went down to like, what?

Yeah.
It, that was the...
So I think that's a really nice step in the right direction of, like, trying to fix all of the waste that we have and all the fast fashion and all the, the chemicals and things.
I think that'll be a really good thing.

Hopefully it'll come over here
...
but it's also, it's also gonna affect w- what, or not what, but how they produce it as far as the number of units.
