Yes.... its called polatech
The polyester fleece is basically a type of plastic, and is similar to PET (polyethyl terpthalate) which is used to make 2 liter soda bottles. The difference between fleece and bottle is how the polyester is made into a thread instead of a solid bottle.
If I am correct, polar fleece is in one sense environmentally friendly because, though it is made from petroleum can be made from old plastic bottles, also made from petroleum, which is a form of recycling. I'm guessing this is because it is reducing the amount of wasted plastic bottles while also minimising the 'new' petroleum use to normally make polar fleece. But most of this is a guess because I just read that plastic bottles can be used to make polar fleece on Wikipedia and the rest is an assumption so believe a 13 year old if you wish.
Well, plastic is made from used plastic bottles so I guess that they want to recycle.
Polyester fleece is made of plastic because it is primarily derived from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a type of plastic commonly used in various products, including beverage bottles. This material is chosen for its durability, lightweight nature, and insulating properties, making it ideal for clothing and outdoor gear. Additionally, using recycled PET helps reduce environmental impact by repurposing plastic waste. Overall, polyester fleece combines practicality with sustainability in its production.

The typical soda / juice / water bottle is made from polythylene terephthalate (PET or PETE, plastic number 1).
Plastic bottles are made of plastic with a chemical called HDPE in them. HDPE can also be used to make things such as.....bottles, grocery bags, motor oil bottle and liquid laundry detergent bottles! ;) . Plastic Plastic plastic bottles are not just made of plastic
They are melted down and made into other bottles and plastic things.
Plastic bottles are typically made from a type of plastic known as PET (polyethylene terephthalate). PET is a lightweight, durable, and versatile plastic resin that is commonly used for food and beverage packaging due to its ability to resist degradation and be easily recycled.
they are better for enviroment because they last longer than plastic and are not thrown away as aften as plastic bottles
In modern clothing, yes and no. The majority of the material is in fact recycled plastics mixed with other synthetic and natural fibers. However your classic wool fleece, is still mostly if not entirely sheep's wool.
Plastic bottles are produced by blow molding.
