Recycled Plastic Used in T-shirts

Today in the Business section of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, there is an article about a new line of T-shirts produced by Coca-Cola called "Drink 2 Wear" that are partially made of recycled plastic bottles. Beginning April 14, 400 Wal-Mart stores plan to sell the Coca-Cola T-shirts and they will also be available online at www.walmart.com. The T-shirts cost $7.50 and come in various sizes, styles and will include one of the phrases such as "Rehash Your Trash" and "Make Your Plastic Fantastic." The T-shirts are composed of a blend of half recycled polyethylene terephthalate and half cotton. Depending on the size of the shirt, about three to five plastic bottles are used to make one shirt. This isn't Coca-Cola's first time selling shirts made of recyclable plastic. Last year, the World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta began selling similar T-shirts. The Wal-Mart deal is the first mass-marketed T-shirt for Coca-Cola. During the month of April, Wal-Mart is promoting the shirts alongside its Earth Month program. Next time you're at Wal-Mart, make sure you check out the new shirts!
