Yes it is, and worth watching. Good for Sri Lanka, and a good idea in general. Hopefully other nations will follow up with the same initiative.

All that plastic in the ocean is being dumped by China, youre wasting your time posting these things on US forums. Call up the Chicoms.

Something must be wrong with your computer.

The video shows what this company is doing with recycled plastic. I wonder how comfortable the clothes are though.

What happens to all the plastic blowing all over Houston? And all the plastic bags and cups that end up in the bayous. Does it just spontaneously vanish?

From everything I have read, the USA is still very big on the pollution scale. Is your point the Chinese are worse so we should do nothing? Perhaps you think the mess is so big it cannot be remediated?

Perhaps we had to pay for the disposal of products on the front end, all of us wouldn't have to pay for the clean up.

I wonder if any clothing manufacturers use this cloth. I can see it making great raincoats and umbrellas but wearing close to the skin seem like it would be clammy and cold.
