We see opportunity in mistakes, possibility in failure, and hope in dark places (like the bottom of your recycling bin).
Keeping materials and products in circulation for as long as possible helps eliminate both waste and resource-intensive virgin production. A circular economy is a new framework for earth and we’re collaborating with leading organizations to get the cogs turning.
We look at every decision through the lens of our three core goals: reducing our own environmental impact, mainstreaming sustainable fiber, and being useful to the planet. If we’re happy we checked those boxes, then we greenlight a plan.
Our collaboration with Oerlikon Barmag on the eAFK EvoCooler technology has reduced the energy required to texture our yarn. REPREVE® SmartDye™ and WaterWise™, both proprietary innovations, have reduced the amount of water and energy used in the dye process. Our flagship manufacturing site in Yadkinville, North Carolina, features our solar farm.
REPREVE® is made with less carbon, using non-toxic products. It reduces global warming potential compared to conventional virgin polyester. We empower brands and consumers to take a positive step. Our US-wide, mobile education tour helps encourage planet-healthy behavior.
How we do business, who we hire and how we grow are focused on what’s good for tomorrow. When it comes to figuring out the future of our planet, we’re optimistic collaborators, honest sharers and passionate believers.
