How can synthetic fleece be made from pop bottles?
Fleece is made of polyester, a petroleum-based synthetic that can be spun into fibers or molded into plastic.
The bottles are separated by color, sterilized and then crushed, chopped and melted.
The melted plastic is extruded through a shower-head type device, producing fibrous polyester strands. Those strands are stretched to thin out and strengthen them.
The strands are woven into fleece or other materials, such as T- shirts and sweats

How does polar fleece help support the environment?
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.
