Transparent. Traceable. Certified.
Our approach to sustainability is built on transparency and trust. At Unifi, this means we share insights about how our products are made, the process they go through and the social and environmental impact they may have. Our vertically integrated recycling process results in high-quality fiber, resin and flake. It is one thing to use sustainable ingredients and quite another to be able to make reliable claims that we can support. We know that trust is earned, and to build that trust through transparency, we have earned multiple third party certifications on our products and processes.
U TRUST® Verification
Trust What You Get from Us
We designed REPREVE® to be sustainable and transparent. REPREVE is the only eco-performance fiber with U TRUST® verification to certify recycled content claims. From any point in the supply chain and through the life of the product, using our unique FiberPrint® tracer technology, we can test your fabrics and products to verify REPREVE is in there, and in the right amounts – to protect what REPREVE stands for, and what you stand for, too.
It all starts with the fabric certification, once your fabrics are U TRUST-certified, you can certify your finished products, including those made with multiple fabrics, and gain access to more benefits: visibility to certified products through our portal, bottle counts on finished products, standard hangtags, use of collateral materials, and a badge to include in your product communications.
SCS Certification
Trust Our Third-Party Certification
REPREVE fibers are certified for recycled content claims by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS). Every year, SCS performs a full examination of our recycled products, including our recycling processes, production records, and manufacturing operations. SCS is a leading third-party certifier and standards developer of environmental and sustainability claims.
OEKO-TEX® Certification
We Have Health and Safety Certification, Too
Because “sustainable” means different things to different people, Repreve has also received the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, a well-known international eco-label. OEKO-TEX® offers “Confidence in Textiles,” qualifying that our yarns are tested to be free of harmful levels of more than 100 restricted chemicals. The STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is the world’s leading label for textiles screened for harmful substances.
GRS Certification
Our Recycled Content is Tracked Globally
The Global Recycle Standard (GRS) is based on tracking and tracing of recycled content. It uses a transaction certificate-based system, similar to organic certification, to ensure the highest level of integrity. This helps track recycled content throughout the value chain of certified final products.
