They interview Mats Horsmar, who provides an expert opinion on the matter. The hosts also cover the reversal of a textile recycling law due to infrastructure issues and an overabundance of unusable waste. Finally, they explore the "coolcation" trend, where tourists are increasingly drawn to Sweden's cooler climate, interviewing tourists and Visit Sweden's CEO, Susanne Andersson, who provides data supporting the trend.
