Plastic-Free Fashion Startups with Meli & Rensso Hinostroza

Many of our followers turn to us for product recommendations as they remove toxic chemical exposures from their everyday products such as household and personal care products. While household and personal care products can contribute a significant amount of exposure to harmful chemicals such as BPA, phthalates and parabens. These are not the only exposure sources.

A recent study from the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) found BPA in sports bras and baby socks. BPA enters clothing during the manufacturing process of polyester, which can help dyes hold and prevent static. The exposure of BPA through skin may actually be worse than ingesting it as the body detox process takes longer. This is why we should choose clothes made from sustainable materials such as organic cotton and wool.

Today we invited Meli and Rensso Hinostroza, brother and sister, from AYA Eco Fashion and Arms of Andes to join us to talk about these two fast growing plastic-free fashion brands they created.

We are going to discuss their materials, manufacturing process and their bigger visions for a more sustainable planet.
