Buddhist Monks Are Recycling Plastic Bottles Into Robes

Buddhist monks are recycling plastic bottles by turning them into sacred orange robes. Abbot Maha Pranom Dhammalangkaro had the idea after being swamped with trash at the temple in Samut Prakan, Thailand. Monks first tried burning the plastic bottles to make fuel but found it inefficient. They then tried making t-shirts which was a ''great success''. The Wat Chak Daeng temple now clothes all their monks with orange robes made from old plastic bottles collected from the nearby river as well as bottles donated by green-minded locals. Maha Pranom said other religious buildings across Thailand have also started making orders for the recycled orange robes.
