Eurostar managers to use bags made from recycled materials.
Eurostar managers to use bags made from recycled materials.

Eurostar train staff are going to work in old raincoats and train seat covers.

In what's described as a world's first, the high-speed service linking London, Paris and Brussels is upcycling - creating bags out of already used materials.

These could be anything from recycled staff uniforms to old suit jackets and even antimacassars - or headrest covers.

Recycling firm Worn Again designed the bags, which will be used by more than 250 managers in the UK, France and Belgium from next month.

It's all part of Eurostar's Tread Lightly programme, which aims to reduce the firm's overall impact on the environment.
