There are a lot of things you can do when you recycle certain items. But apparently it looks like now, PET bottles can be made into fashionable T-shirts thanks to Active Knitwear. These recycled t-shirts are called the AnvilSustainable, each using approximately three 20-ounce recycled plastic bottles, and the cotton utlized comes from farms that are in the three-year process of transitioning to organic.

The AnvilSustainable tee was timed to debut at MAGIC marketplace, one of the largest apparel trade shows, currently being held in Las Vegas. Anvil Knitwear is the largest domestic purchaser of US-grown certified organic cotton, is the world’s sixth-largest organic program, and as the fashion industry moves to more environmentally friendly practices, the notion that innovative companies can influence larger industry trends is carrying more and more weight.
