The process to turn a bottle into fabric is fairly simple. — 将瓶子变成织物的过程非常简单。

The plastic is mechanically broken down into flakes. — 塑料被机械分解成薄片。

And then rolled and manipulated into bales that can be spun into fabric. — 然后滚动并操纵可以纺成织物的捆。

The polyester can also be blended into cotton, as in the case of the Timberland products. — 聚酯也可以将其混合到棉花中，例如Timberland产品。

Thread began working in Haiti in part because it’s the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. — 线程开始在海地工作，部分原因是它是西半球最贫穷的国家。

Thread spent two years studying the recycling systems and setting up a program that would fill in the gaps, rather than competing with local business. — 线程花了两年时间研究回收系统，并设置了一个可以填补空白的程序，而不是与当地企业竞争。

When a bottle is recycled into fabric, the end result looks the same as if it had come from fossil fuels. — 当将瓶子回收到织物中时，最终结果看起来与化石燃料相同。

The Thread team now wants to repeat the process in other countries. — 线程团队现在想在其他国家重复该过程。
