• 00:00:00 The video shows how plastic bottles can be recycled and turned into a type of synthetic thread called "polyester." This new material is used to make socks and other products, giving a new perspective to polyester. This polyester is made with oil, so recycling it saves precious resources. It turns industrial waste materials like polyester to the left and plastic bottles into small, fragmented pieces. Hot air blows away the moisture that would weaken the product and promotes drying. A screw with no end passes the fragments through a hot tube where they coalesce and turn into a thick liquid. Polyester recycled in this way is called "filament" and is five times thinner than human hair. It is held together by a metal mesh filter. A machine called a "mill" cuts the filaments into lengths. It is then wound onto a "winder" which speeds it up to 200 kilometers per hour. After being wound, the filament is stretched and pulled through a series of small holes in a "spooler." Another machine, called a "devanader," cuts the filament into the desired length. It is then wound onto a "black weaver's thread" which makes it easier to see under a microscope.
