Made Responsibly—To Protect Our Planet
We asked, “What if?” What if we could make high-quality fiber sustainably by diverting plastic bottles from the waste stream? And what if that could help boost brand value for our customers? We started making REPREVE in 2007, and now we’re the most-trusted sustainable global solutions provider in the textile industry. That’s because we’re obsessed with transparency, innovation and customer service.
How Do We Make REPREVE?
Step-by-Step
- Source Recycled Waste: Recycled plastic bottles and post-industrial waste (including our own) are collected worldwide.
- Make the Chip: Waste material is chopped, ground, washed, melted and reformulated into high-quality REPREVE chip.
- Form the Fiber: Chip is melted into liquid polymer and extruded through tiny openings in a spinneret, creating continuous filaments that form REPREVE fiber.
- Process the Yarn: Fiber becomes yarn through spinning and air-jet texturing.
- Ship to Customers: Finished yarn goes into fabrics, making everyday products more sustainable.

What REPREVE Is Made Into
REPREVE fiber comes in many forms: recycled polyester and nylon yarns, staple fiber, fiber fill and resin, all to help make your products greener. But that’s not all. We also offer performance technologies and value-added services that give REPREVE yarns a wide array of properties. Some, like solution dyeing, conserves water and energy, using fewer natural resources.
REPREVE is available with the following enhancements.
Our Sustainable Integrity
So Obsessed with Transparency, We’re Certifiable
Transparency is critical, but it's verification that builds trust. That’s why our REPREVE process is regularly certified by third parties. But we don’t stop there. We created U TRUST® verification to certify the recycled content in products made with REPREVE. With our unique FiberPrint® tracer technology, we can test partner products at any point in the supply chain to verify that REPREVE is being used properly.
