Here's how they transform: (1). Plastic bottles that have been recycled and processed (including sorting, cleaning, drying, etc.) are first extruded into lines under high temperature and high pressure. (2). After the finished wire is cooled, it is stretched and extended in the stretching machine to make it into a wave shape. The thread is then dried, cut and the recycled polyester is ready. It is a chemical synthetic fiber. After a series of processing, it can be made into clothes!
