An ultra-strong, tear-resistant, cut-resistant, and puncture-resistant fabric article having a high shear strength or modulus is provided by weaving ribbons of flat recycled polyethylene terephthalate sheet into a fabric or bag and method of making same. The fabric article may be a bag which is formed by weaving a cylindrically shaped object, cutting the object transversely and sealing up one end to form the bag. The physical properties of the ribbon-woven bag easily accommodate holding refuse including bricks, wood with nails, glass and other refuse in a lightweight disposable bag. In an alternative embodiment, a ribbon-woven bag is overlain with sheets laminated to the exterior of the bag to provide a fluid-tight container. The fabric article may also be a blanket which is woven as a flat sheet and stitched accordingly, which can be used as a covering or protective structure. |
