How are your plastic bottles made into your clothing and house items?

Well if you didn’t know, You may be wearing your own soft drinks bottles. Well this is the process of making your clothing First of all they start of at the bottle recycling center. Then it gets shredded to get the little bit of liquid that you might have left in it. Doing this releases the small bit of unwanted liquid so that it doesn’t affect the quality of the plastic. Then once that is finished it is wrapped up in cellophane and sent to china. Second of all they arrive at china and they all get opened up and then gets sorted out. The clear plastic go to one side and the coloured goes to the other, The reason why they do this is because all the clear plastic can be dyed to make a plain coloured top or it can be a plain white top. The coloured plastic can be made into coloured tops Then it is put into a bath that takes all of the stickers and lids of it. But when it’s pulled out. it’s still a bit wet, so, it gets put into a heater. But if we want to produce white clothing, we have to put in a piece of light shade cloth. Then once that mixture comes out of the heater it’s thread, But we need to combine it and then we have to stretch it several times. This makes the thread stronger. but it is not yet ready to be made into clothes so let's go over and look at the next step. So now that it’s thread, We have to tear it up and make it into fluff. Then there's a lomb in the center that draws in thousands of thread and weaves. This is what catches it and then it is put on another machine and it makes it softer. So, you probably know what happens now, If you don’t know, It goes too a different factory, That is where your plastic bottles are made into your very own high-end clothing are made. Well now you know the process of turning your plastic bottles into your household items and clothes.
