REPREVE and leading brands

IGO Textile offers various types of recycled polyester fabrics with REPREVE® yarns that are made from 100% recycled materials, including post-consumer plastic bottles and pre-consumer waste.

REPREVE yarn is made by Unifi, a global textile solutions provider and one of the world's leading innovators in manufacturing synthetic and recycled performance fibers. Unifi has diverted more than 25 billion plastic bottles from the waste stream and are on target to reach 30 billion in 2022. What's more, by using REPREVE there is less reliance on petroleum which saves energy and decreases greenhouse gas emissions. REPREVE recycled performance fiber is in the news, as people demand more earth-friendly options. Every customer who makes something with REPREVE is the start of another great story. 

Billions of plastic bottles go into landfills every year. But now you can do something about it. REPREVE is the leading, most trusted, branded performance fiber made from recycled materials (including plastic bottles). REPREVE is the only eco-performance fiber with U TRUST® verification to certify recycled content claims. 

The world's leading brands are choosing REPREVE to drive product innovation by combining uncompromised performance with trusted sustainability. And it is a pretty long list of leading brands using REPREVE fiber to make high-quality products from trusted recycled content. 

In 2020, a total of 79 companies had achieved key milestones through their use of REPREVE recycled performance fiber. Highlights include H&M, which has recycled more than a half billion bottles, and Wal-Mart and Quiksilver reaching the quarter billion bottle milestone. In addition, Lovesac and Inditex, special category winners last year, both advanced to bottle-based awards.

“Working together, Unifi's brand, retailer and textile partners have helped us recycle more than 19 billion bottles,” said Jay Hertwig, Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing for Unifi. “We are excited that more and more companies are committing to global responsibility and using our eco-friendly fiber options to positively impact our planet, both now and in the future.”
