Do you have a study that actually compares to H&M? This seem to focus only on Shein and doesn't answer the question.
I don't see why the same factories, using the same work force and the same base material would lead to different toxicity. A little Google foo also confirms that H&M doesn't have a positive image for their Green washing and fake eco labels either.
It's the same level of quality.
Including toxic waste, child work, forced labor and all.
It is easy to see that there are two brands here, H&M will have to succumb to pressure from the west or their physical shops will die, Shein doesn't as they are having a feast on Gen Z's attention economy.
Who will be easier to get beaten into the less horrible business to the earth?
