When I saw the front of this shirt at a Coca Cola store in Atlanta, I didn't get what it meant. A tagline "5 inside" on the sleeve didn't help much either but it prompted me to look inside the shirt. That's when I saw the diagram where a tag usually is.
Turns out the shirt is 50% recycled plastic bottles! Amazing! It didn't feel any different from a typical t-shirt. I googled till my eyes burned but I couldn't find any information online about them. That's too bad... 'cause what a cool way to recycle!
I like a good internet search challenge—especially in the middle of the night when my husband is at Harry Potter. Check out clothesmadefromscrap.com

This is actually a common thing - most polar fleece has a fraction of recycled bottles. Some companies pipe up about it, but most don't for some strange reason.
