REPREVE® | Sustainable. Certifiable. Recycled. High-quality performance fiber.
Billions of plastic bottles go into landfills every year. But now you can do something about it. REPREVE is the leading, most trusted, branded performance fiber made from recycled materials (including plastic bottles). Buy products made with REPREVE to make a difference.
We transform recycled bottles into an amazing fiber, used by the world's leading brands to make athletic and fashion apparel and more. Our process embeds properties like wicking, adaptive warming and cooling, water repellency, and more at the fiber level. For reliable, durable quality.
We're not just finding new life for recycled materials. Compared to making what's called virgin fiber, making REPREVE offsets using new petroleum, emitting fewer greenhouse gases and conserving water and energy in the process. That makes a big difference for our future.
Shop eco-smart. Some of the brands you know and love use REPREVE to make products you use every day. If you see the bottle count badge when you shop, your purchase makes a difference. Look for it!
Brands using REPREVE include Ford, and in the UK, Seasalt are using it in their swimwear.
Recycling more than 14 billion plastic bottles, the website has some groovy photographs, videos and graphics. Some of the landfill and ocean pictures demonstrate just how challenging the problem is.

This is great @shanibeer I will keep an eye out for anything Repreve also the fact that Ford uses them is fantastic, its a challenging problem to fix but hopefully we are slowly getting there, unfortunately many still have not waked to the damage all this plastic is creating.
Little by little 😊
That is brilliant, I have never heard of this company before. I have seen videos like this
but had no idea they could recycle plastic bottles into what I guess is a type of polyester.
When you learn something new, then dLike suddenly becomes very useful!
Great share :-)
Sorry, I'm being rude. Good morning :-)
Good morning :)
I thought it was great, too. I got a catalogue from Seasalt over the weekend, and I was originally going to share the swimwear, but then I did a little investigation about REPREVE and came up with a much better share! Like you say, dLike becomes really worthwhile when you come across good stuff like this.
Good to see some companies stepping up to clean up this mess we have all made. The old saying:-
Couldn't be more appropriate for this initiative. We need 1,000's more companies like this to clean up the mess we have made of our only habitable planet.
First step should be to ban all single use plastics.
Great share @shanibeer U+R
Thanks, I was pleased to find it. I guess we could start writing to stores and manufacturers asking when they will be stocking/using this type of product.
