Recycled plastic bottles are now being utilized to their optimum in making apparels and home textiles. PET bottles (Cooking oil, and cool drink bottles), HDPE (milk and fruit juice bottles), and PVC (mineral water bottles) bottles are being used for making apparels, home textiles, and other fashion accessories.
