Advice famous recycled trendy
Environment material trash unusual
Do you want to enjoy camping and outdoor sports all year-even in the winter, in the rain? Then
here’s my advice for you: you should wear Polar fleece sports clothing. Polar Fleece clothing
keeps you dry in wet weather and warm in cold weather. How is Polar fleece made? Believe it

3. or not, Polar Fleece clothing is made out of recycled plastic bottles! Recycled bottles go to a big
factory. Machines at the factory clean the bottles, cut them into small pieces, and heat them. The
bottles melt and become a liquid, like water. Then, another machine changes the liquid into a
material that looks like wool. This wool is called Polar Fleece! This unusual material is
comfortable and very warm. You can buy Polar Fleece winter clothes in many styles, so you
will always look trendy! Polar Fleece also reduces trash because it is made out of recycled
plastic bottles. So it helps the environment. Today, the name Polar Fleece is famous all over
the world.
