“Our industry is getting crushed by foreign?trash fashion players Shein and Temu, Chinese brands, that flood the market with fossil fuel fabricated clothing, riddled with toxic chemicals, that end up on our kids and in our waterways,” said Betina Baumgarten, legal and policy advisor with the New Standard Institute (NSI), founded by Bédat. “The current ways are bad for consumers and bad for American business.” Legislation in multiple states is requiring companies to address their climate impact, as well as the suppliers that provide their services or they can face harsh financial penalties.
