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.

My intense race
The intense race
On a really hot sunny 40 degree day on the track, I was in the lead of the intense bike race. I was coming up to the end of the second to last lap, And this loud roaring motor bike drove past me, It was the last lap, The speeding car came roaring past me, i'm nearly at the finish line, Then I go past it and all I could here was My family and my team Screaming!, Now I feel proud because I have won the race for NZ and earned a Gold for the team.
On this snug 19 degree night, Me, my family and team go out for dinner.
Once we got to the restaurant, We saw some supporters as well.
Once we finished we quickly sprinted back to the car, We had to aesthetically jump over multiple objects. Then we got in the car and quickly boosted from the fans.We got home, And we saw some insane supporters hanging of the back of my truck. So we get out and said evacuate the private property and then we never saw the again.
