Debenhams has produced a suit made from recyled plastic bottles:
Debenhams has produced the ‘ultimate designer ecooutfit’ – a trouser suit made entirely from recycled plastic bottles.
‘It’s right on trend in terms of fashion, and kind to the environment, without costing the earth,’ said a spokeswoman for the department store.
‘There’s no reason why we couldn’t extend it to menswear if it proves popular.’ Each £55 suit is made from 50 bottles which are melted down and reformed to create a type of polyester.
The innovation is said to save energy, reduce CO2 emissions and cut down on landfill site waste.
