 Firstly,the plastic is shredded,which is turned into millions of tiny pieces.

- Then the shredded pieces are contained and shipped to china.

The workers serperate the white plastic and the coloured plastic,to make colourful clothing or plain white clothing.

-In the factory, the workers then sort out the plastics and then put the plastics in seperated baths; 

(The coloured plastics are in a Different bath, the coloured plastics' can float so a worker can just strain them from the top.)
(The sticker bath is much more dangerous because if skin makes contact then it could damage the skin.)

• After the bath, the plastic is rather wet, so next the wet plastic is placed into a oven 
• (To create white plastic you need to mix it with white shaded material.)

When they reach the other factory, some of the cotton/fluff is put into a machine that harden it, the machine brushed the cotton/fluff so that the pattern on it,so that it would be strong.Now the cotton/fluff is now ready to be turned into thread.]]> 2016-08-24 21:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/annabelle4ptj/reuorjn0oz3c/wish/119705046 annabelle4ptj https://padlet.com/annabelle4ptj/reuorjn0oz3c/wish/119705811 When the workers have placed the fluff/Cotton into the machine, the machine would now tease it out and spin off,after mile after mile.At the same time, pure polyester is collected on bobbins thats at the end of the machine.Now the plastic has turned into pure polester (Thread/Clothing material).In a diffrent machine, it spins and weaves a new type of polyester, A softer one.The machine creates tiny loops on it , next the softer polyster is brushed but with a really strong metal brush that makes it super soft.]]> 2016-08-24 21:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/annabelle4ptj/reuorjn0oz3c/wish/119705811 annabelle4ptj https://padlet.com/annabelle4ptj/reuorjn0oz3c/wish/120433785 So we now got our clothing material so what happens, we made it this far!
