White Paper on Project “world’s largest t-shirt”

Plastics is the most used and most abused substance in the current day and time. While PLASTICS has solved and changed the many ways we live, eat, drink, survive, remain healthy, get cured, travel, transport, build and sustain our lives, Some forms of PLASTICS are perceived as threats to the eco-system. Not because they cause harm but because they are misused harmfully. Packaging and PLASTIC waste generated from it has been the most topic discussed on GOOGLE after Donald Trump’s Vindications. However the joke is on us, if we as makers of plastic are not vindictive enough to stand and talk proudly about how we can contribute to sustainability using the very product that provides us our livelihood. Hence with collective wisdom, the environment and plastic image committee came up with a thought – Do we speak words that SHOUT or Create ACTIONS that are LOUD.

Our Inspiration:

Rather than talking too many words we stuck to four words : “AAO KuCH ALAG KARE”. Our submission was simple, if you segregate waste, like you separate your food, your clothes, your priorities and most importantly all activities of your life. Then the simple method of segregation can change the world around your not only for yourself, but for people who don’t have better means to live and most importantly, unknowingly every person by using social conscious can benefit another human being and in return protect our environment.

So we took up the challenge to find out which were the most talked about “so called pollutants”. To our surprise “PET Waste was one of the top 5 pollutants” as certified by various bodies and governments. We also found out that PET waste when recycled correctly can produce multiple plastic products of public consumption, one of them being Fabric.

You would be Pleased to Know the facts:

• Nineteen PET bottles produce enough fiber for one XL T-shirt.
• Twenty five PET bottles produce enough for one sweater.
• 1050 milk jugs can produce enough fiberfill for a sleeping bag.
• Nineteen bottles make enough fiber to make one square foot of carpet.
• Fourteen bottles yield enough fiberfill for a ski jacket.
• It takes 114 PET bottles to make enough fiberfill for a sleeping bag.
• 21 percent of recycled PET is used to make new plastic containers.
• 50 percent of all polyester carpet made in the Unites States is made from recycled PET
• 54 percent of recycled PET used to manufacture fiber for carpet and clothing
• 100 percent of PET is

So while we first toyed with the idea of collecting waste during the expo and converting the same to T-shirts and educating our own plastic fraternity brethren. Our team hit up on the idea that talking to the very people who make PLASTICS Is not the answer, we wanted to be heard and understood by the outside world who think otherwise about PLASTICS.

So we decide that we will make this loud and clear and use the opportunity to Do something BIG with something very SMALL.
