Early success as Unifi hits 30 billion-bottle target ahead of schedule
23/11/2021
Fibre producer Unifi has now transformed more than 30 billion post-consumer plastic bottles into its Repreve recycled polyester.
Unifi launched Repreve commercially in 2007 and hit the 10 billion bottle milestone in 2017. At that point, it began setting recycling goals for itself, pledging to transform 20 billion bottles by 2020 and 30 billion bottles by 2022.
It said it was proud to have hit the 30 billion bottle milestone ahead of schedule in 2021.
When the company launched Repreve, it did so with two brands as partners. Now more than 1,000 brands across the world use the range and Repreve represents around 40% of Unifi’s total sales.
