When you recycle plastic bottles, you are helping to make brand new carpet! Plastic bottles make a fiber known as PET polyester, which makes a very good quality yarn for carpet. The following video is about recycling bottles to make polyester cloth. But I thought the video was so well done, it was worth sharing. This clearly shows a recycling plant in Asia. However, our U.S. carpet manufacturers have their own recycling plants right here in the USA. Shaw Industries and Mohawk both have their own recycling plants in the US, so recycling those bottles also helps keep Americans employed as well as helping the environment. Enjoy. Its a fascinating video. youtube/watch?v=zyF9MxlcItw
