Can you make clothes out of recycled materials?

Answer 1

Of course. In some families, clothes are handed down from older to younger children. Clothes are also donated to charity shops and sold as second hand clothes. Clothes which are worn are recycled.

Answer 2

The process to reuse the polyester is quite simple. The bottles are

chopped up into small pieces, then fed to an extruder where they are

heated to their melting point and "squirted" (like toothpaste from a

tube) into long spaghetti-like strands, that are then chopped into

short pellets and stored for later use. The recycled polyester is now

in exactly the same form as so-called "virgin" polyester purchased

from a plastic resin manufacturer, and therefore can be used to make

polyester fiber (or any other polyester plastic part) that "virgin"

polyester would be used to make.

To make clothing, the polyester pellets (whether brand new "virgin"

pellets, or those made from recycled bottles) are heated to their

melting point and forced under great pressure through tiny nozzles to

make many fine fibers. The fibers are then made woven into fabric, and

the fabric made into clothing in the usual manner.

Answer 3

• Yes. How about giving clothes you no longer want or need to a charity shop (thrift store)?
• If you are good at altering clothes, then some could be made usable again that way.
• Go to a clothes dump-off... usually at a mall or something like that
• Yes. And especially jeans. (Good for the planet)
• People can either bring their old clothes to a second hand shop or they can pass them down to younger family/friend's who would fit into the clothes. Clothes that are too worn out are often torn up into rags, usually for cleaning. Some fabrics, like cotton, can be added to paper pulp to produce paper.

Answer 4

yes. At a sleepover, the girls played a game similar to 'project runway', and we made clothing(mostly dresses) out of materials such as trash bags, tape, plastic wrap, etc.

It was fun and entertaining.

Answer 6

It is never impossible . I've seen people us use stickey notes for a dress . You can use the totally round part of a plastic bottle as shoulder pads . Well , of course , there is a lot more to improveonbut i think what makes a dress truly special is that the designer think through it carefully to design a dress. People don't finish designing overnight so i am afraid this is my help limit ,sorry.
