What does an umbrella have to do with plastic bottles? It turns out that these umbrellas are all made of recycled plastic bottles. After recycling, empty plastic bottles are processed through a series of processes and finally woven into a new type of green environment-friendly fabric, namely RPET fabric material, which is a new concept in the field of material recycling. You can use up to 17 old plastic bottles to make a sun umbrella and actually recycle it.

It is understood that these solar umbrellas derived from the concept of Coca Cola’s sustainable development — “No waste in the world”, are designed to tell the full life cycle of PET, so that more people can understand the resource properties of PET plastic and the significance of recycling.
