"UNIFI now offers the most extensive array of recycled fibers in the global
textile market," said Roger Berrier, executive vice president for Unifi. "And
with the addition of the 100% post-consumer recycled option, our customers have
another choice when developing their sustainable products."
To preserve the integrity of the REPREVE brand and ensure that fabrics and
products made from REPREVE are traceable, transparent and certifiably
sustainable, Unifi is introducing the U TRUST(TM) verification program. U TRUST
is a comprehensive certification program that is designed to provide REPREVE
customers with a new level of transparency. As part of the U TRUST program, the
company is introducing FIBERPRINT(TM) -- a unique technology allowing for
enhanced traceability in fabrics and products. Through Unifi's Fabric
Certification process, Unifi can analyze fabrics for the FIBERPRINT signature and
certify the level of REPREVE content.
"The U TRUST program provides our customers with a new level of confidence
and protects the value that the REPREVE brand offers and helps prevent any false
claims," said Berrier. "The U TRUST verification program demonstrates our
commitment to integrity and authenticity, which are part of Unifi's core values."
