Recycling

Do you wonder why you should be recycling, where the recycled bottles go and how are they reused? Well here is an example of the benefit of proper recycling…

DGrade

Would you like to make manufacturing more sustainable in order to protect planet earth?  Would you like to help remove plastic trash from the world’s oceans, especially plastic water bottles? Would you like to wear snappy T-shirts, each one made from pre-used plastic water bottles? All you have to do is visit an internet site named DGrade, based in Dubai……’cause that’s what they do!

They will fish the bottles out of the ocean, send them to Abu Dhabi (just down the road from Dubai), where they are washed and flaked, then sent to China where they are heated and extruded, turned into polyester fiber, then spun into yarn called Greenspun Yarn……..which turns into a T-Shirt back in Dubai. It takes 10 bottles to make one shirt!

And, oh yeah, DGrade also makes other things through this process, like masks, uniforms, even sheet-rock-like material that can be used for construction.

All out of plastic trash retrieved from the world’s oceans. Pretty neat, eh?
