Pharrell Williams Goes Green

Cutie pie Pharrell Williams has teamed up with Bionic Yard, a textile firm, to help create a variety of products from recycled bottles. According to All Headline News, Williams will take on the role as the company's owner and spokesman as he attempts to "go green" and make usable objects out of recyclable plastics.

"I'm so interested with the technology behind this," Pharrell said in a statement. "I am also very concerned with the environment and want to make a conscious effort to make it better. We want to provide quality fabrics that also happen to be sustainable."

Most notably, Williams is looking to add clothing to his list of items he wants to create.

"We want to do everything from high end luggage, to high end denim, to university caps and gowns to Parks Department uniforms," he added. "It's a plus that the fabric brings environmentalism to a whole new level."

According to Bionic Yarn, 60 million plastic bottles end up in landfills every day, but could be used to create items like luggage and jeans.
