Women's suit made from recycled rubbish
A department store has started selling a women's suit which is made from recycled rubbish.The £55 jacket and trousers are said to be made entirely from 50 plastic bottles which could have ended up in a landfill.
Instead bottles are stripped of their labels, washed and melted before being refined and woven into a polyester.
The soft but hard-wearing material is then used to make the suit which makers promise will not leave you looking like a discarded Coke bottle.
Primark are expected to launch a rival suit anytime now ... it will be made by gluing 75 crisp packets together.
A spokesperson for Debenhams said: "The jacket doesn't compromise on luxury in it's tailoring.
"The fabric is acquired from recycled plastic bottles, an innovative process which saves energy and reduces CO2 emissions.
"Bottles recycled in this way, do not end up buried in land fill sites, so by buying this suit you are stylishly supporting the environment.
