Irish Clothing Line Made from Used Beer Bottles

Recycling has reached an all new level!  This form TheJournal.ie:

A YOUNG IRISH entrepreneur has come up with an ingenious idea to create a clothing line from part-recycled materials… including brown beer bottles.

Peter Heron, originally from Dublin, has launched I Am Not A Virgin clothes in New York where he has lived for the past three and a half years since winning his green card.

The range – so-named because the materials used to make the clothes are from non-virgin sources, ie, recycled – includes jeans and t-shirts. Heron at first began making jeans from fabric scraps at manufacturing mills but changed tack when he met a senior designer from DKNY, who told him about a new fabric which is made from 75 per cent cotton and 25 per cent recycled synthetic material, which includes brown beer bottles.
