Debenhams have launched what they're calling the "ultimate designer eco-outfit", a trouser suit made from recycled plastic bottles. The suit retails at £55 and is made from 50 bottles which are melted down & reformed to create a kind of polyester.
The innovation is said to reduce CO2 emmissions, save energy & cut down on landfill waste.
A Debenhams spokeswoman said: "We are proud of our creation as it's right on trend in terms of fashion, and kind to the environment, without costing the earth. If it proves popular among our customers then there's no reason why we couldn't extend it to menswear."
"You definitely don't need a lot of bottle to wear it."
