Global textile solutions provider, Unifi Inc., announced the latest discovery of peer-reviewed Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) stating that in comparison with virgin polyester, its in-house brand REPREVE recycled polyester lowers climate change.
The result of LCA for REPREVE recycled polyester narrowed down to clearly visible reduction in greenhouse emission, fossil fuels depletion, and water scarcity.
The brand REPREVE makes recycled polyester with post-consumer plastic bottles and pre-consumer waste materials with the aim to address the growing concern about plastic waste.
It consists of FiberPrint, tracer technology, and is certified by U-Trust which is suitable for multiple use including apparel, automotive interiors, and home furnishings.
Meredith Boyd, Senior Vice President of Sustainability, Technology & Innovation said, “We believe in transparency and traceability, so it’s important for us to share our peer-reviewed LCA data to show the significant reductions that REPREVE polyester offers to critical environmental factors that otherwise accelerate climate change or deplete other limited resources.”
