A plastic cup is no good if certain liquids can dissolve it, after all. In this case, the team found that applying hydrophobic coatings prevented any early breaking down of the material.

Samples of the recycled material are available to auto companies and other manufacturers. Ultra-Poly was founded in New Jersey in the 1970s and moved to Hackettstown, and then in 1998, to Portland.

Polyester is incredibly durable, wrinkle-resistant and moisture-wicking. It's also breathable and lightweight, so your sweat evaporates through the fabric and you'll stay relatively dry.
