In an effort to make the apparel industry more sustainable, a company called Last Bottle Clothing has started making ultra-lightweight shirts out of recycled materials. For conscious millennials who are always looking for new ways to 'go green,' these shirts offer the perfect blend of fashion and social good.
Last Bottle Clothing is a new apparel company that sells shirts made from 100 percent recycled plastic bottles. Additionally, the entire production process is designed to eliminate plastic pollution and the use of fossil fuels. In total about 13 500ml plastic bottles are used to make each shirt. The result is garments that are soft, lightweight, breathable and can be worn for years to come. Even the shirts themselves are 100 percent recyclable and can be repurposed after the wearer has tired of them.

Sectors Adopting This
