Japanese company Uniqlo plans to sell fiber products from recycled plastic bottles.

Operator Uniqlo Fast Retailing and textile and chemical company Toray Industries have announced their intention to jointly develop high-speed polyester fiber fabrics obtained from plastic bottles.

Uniqlo officials said they have been able to improve the technology to remove impurities from this plastic and obtain special thin fibers. According to them, these fibers can be used in a number of functional goods, including clothing.
