Advicefamous 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 or not, Polar Fleece clothing is made out ofrecycled 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 winterclothes 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.
