THE PROBLEM.
THERE'S OVERUSE OF SINGLE-USE.
1,000,000
plastic bottles
are sold globally
every single minute.
Only 30% of used
plastic bottles in the
USA are recycled.
It takes 450 years
for a plastic bottle
to degrade.
FASHION IS LIVING FAST & DYING YOUNG.
70 million barrels of oil
are used each year to
make polyester clothing.
107 billion units
of apparel were sold
globally in 2016.
3 out of 5
fast fashion items
end up in a landfill.
BUT...SCIENCE.
WATER BOTTLES ARE
polyethylene terephthalate
POLYESTER FIBER IS
polyethylene terephthalate
SO. RECYCLE.
From discarded plastic water bottles we create recycled polyester.
Blended with upcycled textile waste & eco-friendly tencel
- we bring you the world's softest & most sustainable socks!
The plastic bottles we use are collected from the east coast of the USA.
They are sorted, chopped up & melted in North Carolina,
& then engineered into high-performance fibers for Teddy Locks.
Unifi Repreve fibers are certified for recycled content by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS),
are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified & are GRS (Global Recycle Standard) certified.
