Reduce Waste
Unifi has amended manufacturing processes to eliminate or reduce the amount of
waste produced. Of the waste that is produced, the majority is recycled.
|
|
Reuse
Unifi reclaims water & energy (which are recycled repeatedly) from
condensation and dyebaths, which helps heat plants, conserve water, and save
finite fossil fuels.
|

Recycle
Unifi participates in a company-wide recycling program designed to generate
awareness and collect reusable products. We recycle all plastics, paper
products, aluminum, & tin beverage cans. Additionally, we use returnable
packaging and strongly encourage our suppliers to do the same- eliminating
millions of pounds of waste annually.

Redesign
Unifi continues to develop eco-friendly solutions for our products, processes,
& customers, on a global scale. To date, Unifi has successfully created
Repreve®, a completely recycled fiber and Satura®, a family of solution-dyed
yarns that saves 18 gallons of water per pound of yarn produced.
