Ep.99: Innovation for a circular economy
The Textile Innovation Podcast speaks to Meredith Boyd of US-based textile solutions provider Unifi about its hero product Repreve and initiatives to create a sustainable value chain in textiles.
Unifi is a global textile solutions provider and leading innovator in manufacturing synthetic and recycled performance fibres. Through Repreve, one of the US-based company’s proprietary technologies, Unifi has transformed more than 40bn plastic bottles into recycled fibres for apparel, footwear and other consumer products.
In episode 99 of WTiN’s Textile Innovation Podcast, we speak with the company’s executive vice president and chief product officer at Unifi, Meredith Boyd, about her role in bringing Repreve to a global consumer market. We also discuss how the company continually innovates technologies to meet consumer needs across the textile industry.
Boyd also details Unifi’s Textile Takeback programme. This initiative collects pre- and post-consumer polyester-based fabric waste before transforming it into raw material.
