Clothes makers turn to recycled materials

Experiments with recycled fleece jackets began at the beginning of the 1990s. However, the materials produced were very hard. New manufacturing techniques have led to greater acceptance from consumers. Shredded plastic bottles can be used to make the basic material for the thin synthetic fibres used as thread.
