Creating new microfiber polyester requires crude oil. Repreve yarns are made entirely without drilling for oil, refining it, transporting it, breaking it into chemicals, blending it with other additives, or turning it into the raw materials needed for manufacturing. Recycling allows for the reuse materials already made from precious natural resources. The result: On average, one pound of Repreve recycled yarn conserves the equivalent of .5 gallons of gasoline.
Repreve is third-party certified for 100% recycled content. Every year, Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) performs a full examination of Repreve recycled products, including the recycling process, production records, and manufacturing operations. SCS is a leading third-party certifier and standards developer of environmental and sustainability claims.
