West Country Gloves sent us two pairs of gardening gloves. There is one thing I love as much as gardening and that is recycling! These gloves are made out of recycled materials!!!!!!
Here's what their site says,
The Best Just Got Better. THE NEW WORK, LANDSCAPE AND CLASSIC GLOVES by West County Gardener will now be made with a fabric that comes from recycled water bottles. Each pair of West County Gloves will remove one 8 oz water bottle from landfills. Our new fabric is stronger, softer, and easier on the planet. Available February 1, 2009.
Turning Water Bottles into Fabric
- To convert recycled plastic, first the bottles are gathered, sorted by color, crushed, and baled.
- Next, they are shipped to a facility to be ground into 1/8” shards.
- The shards are then cleaned and sanitized before melting and extruding and chopping into uniform PET pellets.
- The pellets are then melted and put into a spinneret to produce a fine yarn that is blended with virgin poly and knit into West County fabric
