Today we are going to steer away from Antique fashion for a sec and have a look into the furure. After all the future really is just reapting the past . . . right?
There has never been a dearth for designs and styles when it comes to fashion t shirts. The latest trend is garbage fashion; yes, you heard it right. In an attempt to saving the planet, the Brooklyn industries have come out with a new fabric for tshirts. These new graphic t-shirts are fashionable and trendy, in fact softer than most other fabrics. And the hard to believe fact is that this fabric has been created from recycled plastic bottles.
These t-shirts are the perfect answer for the eco-friendly youngsters. Converting trash into something useful and fashionable is a great thing especially if it can help to keep our landfills from overflowing. Creating these polyester garments from recycled plastic enables to greatly reduce the amount of plastic waste that fills our garbage cans. And using this fabric to create unique, interesting and fashionable t-shirts is definitely a positive step towards a green environment.
The manufacturers are also trying to create a technology using which these garments can be recycled at the end of their lives. Basically, the used plastic bottles are crushed mechanically into flakes which are then turned into pellets and finally spun into polyester yarn. The yarn is then knit and dyed to create fashionable t-shirts for both men and women alike. Creating recycled polyester also requires less water when compared to making cotton or virgin polyester. Apart from taking the fashion quotient up by a notch, this definitely helps to keep the plastic bottles from filling up our garbage cans, landfills and oceans.
