Recycled textiles once commanded a price premium justified by sustainability narratives. Under DPP, however, compositional transparency will expose the true cost structure of recycled versus virgin fibers. As consumers see breakdowns—“70% recycled polyester, 30% virgin”—they may question why recycled carries higher price tags despite potential subsidies. Brands will need to recalibrate messaging: framing cost not as a penalty but as an investment in circular infrastructure. Over time, improved recycling efficiency may narrow the gap, but in the short term, transparency will pressure margins. Clear storytelling about value creation, not just cost, is essential for maintaining consumer trust.

Zero-knowledge proofs offer strong security guarantees, fast finality, and potential cost efficiency. zk-rollups are positioned as the ultimate scaling solution, but technical challenges—prover costs, hardware constraints, and developer adoption—remain. Whether zk dominates depends on whether these constraints are overcome before optimistic rollups entrench themselves. In the long term, zk’s cryptographic advantages may be decisive, but widespread adoption will require both user abstraction and developer-friendly tooling. The question is not “if,” but “how fast.”
