The REPREVE Legacy

It started as waste

Repreve legacy 2007 vs 2025
Spacer

Almost 20 years ago, REPREVE started life as the unused waste from a yarn machine.

We believe there’s a use for everything. So we asked ourselves, ‘What if this fiber waste could go back into fiber?’ This started our journey of relooking at waste as a resource — one with tons of possibility.

Our story plastic bottles

We started to see potential in the material waste all around us.

Turning our attention to the plastic bottle waste crisis, we developed REPREVE — an industry-defining sustainable fiber and resin made from bottles.

Recycling over 42 billion bottles, we have transformed post-consumer plastic bottles into useful products. REPREVE has walked runway shows in high fashion, climbed Mount Everest in high performance thermal gear, scored World Cup goals in recycled cleats, worn by top athletes to win gold at the Olympics, and provided comfortable seats for space-bound astronauts.

We’re partnering with global brands to take back their waste and keep materials in circulation longer.

In recent years, we’ve focused our innovations on circularity and advanced yarn technology, developing solutions for textile-to-textile materials at scale.
