Why You Can't Recycle Your Pants (Until Now)
Season 9
Episode 14
Have you ever recycled a t-shirt? Lots of clothing is made with cotton/polyester blends, and it's nearly impossible to separate those two without destroying one, making it difficult to reuse both materials. In this episode, George tests a newly developed technique that could solve that problem, potentially changing the way we make, use, and recycle our clothes.
