Always be useful.
We are optimistic, problem-solving makers of things. That means working in useful ways and being of use to our planet. It’s about figuring out tomorrow but also factoring in yesterday.
Being useful feels fantastic – join in!
REPREVE® started life 20 years ago as waste, spat out of a yarn machine.
Because we believe there’s a use for everything, a bright spark asked, ‘What if we could make fiber waste back into fiber?’. This started our journey of seeing waste as a resource, a resource in the wrong place but one with tons of possibility.
In addition to making use of manufacturing waste, we turned our attention to consumer waste – the plastic bottles that clog up landfills and bob in our oceans.
Two decades and over 40 billion recycled bottles later, we're still trying to be useful. Because by helping people take a step, we are building good habits. Yesterday’s recycled bottle, today’s sustainable tee, tomorrow’s bigger actions.
