Dont throw away your plastic bottles just yet. 'Coz you might just become a supplier of plastic to environment friendly bikini makers. Asahi Kasei, a chemical giant based in Tokyo has announced an environmentally friendly product of the very special kind: swimsuits .
The lovely models (Ayumi Kura, 20, on the left and eighteen-year-old Shi Weng Lu on the right) are wearing bikinis made of polyethylene tephthalate. Did you know that Polyethylene tephthalate (PET) is the stuff they use to make plastic bottles !!
Asahi Kasei claims the swimsuits they make from PET (marketed under the brand name Sunplay ECO) are very quick to dry and offer a high level of elasticity. According to the company, Sunplay products have a better environmental footprint by using less oil and releasing less carbon dioxide in the production process.
All very nice, huh and whats more being environment friendly can be sexy.:-). Now word yet on when it's gonna hit the market and fill the breasts.
