One day I was in the great store of Wal-mart and I came across a shirt that claimed that it was made out of plastic bottles. I then even more crazy they were made by a drink company...Coca-Cola. So I decided to do a little research on why they have started these environmently friendy clothing.
The information I found is from a press release on the Coca-Cola Company website http://www.thecoca-colacompany.com/presscenter/nr_20070905_ccna_support_recycling.html
Cola-Cola Company has created a "Recycled PET Merchandise program" which is a line of merchandise made out of recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic. No, the clothes do not feel like a hard plastic Coca-Cola soda bottles! They are actually really cute T-shirts, shopping bags, and accesories, there are even recycled earrings from real Coca-Cola products. The t-shirts feature eco-humor with sayings like, “I’m wearing post-consumer waste,” and “My white t-shirt is green.” I must say I like the new outlook on the famous brand of drink that is known all around the world.
