School uniform made from recycled bottles
Marks & Spencer is to start selling a school uniform which is entirely made out of recycled rubbish.The blazers, skirts and trousers are all made from plastic bottles which are washed and melted before being refined and woven into a polyester.
Shoes are even made from chopped up waste leather shavings which would normally be sent to landfill.
A M&S spokesperson said of the range: "Using recycled materials helps to conserve the earth's natural resources and protect the environment for future generations."
Primark are expected to launch a rival uniform anytime now ... it will be made by gluing 75 crisp packets together.*
The range is part of the store's 'Plan A' eco-initiative to cut back on its carbon footprint.
Speaking yesterday Sir Stuart Rose, Chairman of Marks & Spencer, said: "The economic downturn has made our targets more challenging but we don’t think this is a reason to compromise, or an excuse to not deliver on our commitments.
* Yes in a bid to save the environment we are recycling our jokes now.
