What knowledge does the reader need to bring to this text in order to understand it?
The knowledge requires the global issue about plastic, why plastic is a problem on our planet and what happens if EasyJet uses recycled plastic bottles to make their uniform. What happens if airlines reduce their carbon footprint and what effects will it occur on our planet.
European airline EasyJet's new cabin uniform has been revealed. Each uniform has been created from 45 plastic bottles. EasyJet has linked up with Northern Irish manufacturer Tailored Image and it's said in an estimate that new uniforms will prevent up to half a million plastic bottles from ending up as plastic waste each year.
It's said that the fabric is more abrasion-resistant than the current style and allows more stretch and movement - also being longer-lasting, therefore reducing the need of replacements.
