Unifi/Repreve Challenge
In the fall semester of 2013, Unifi Manufacturing Inc., a leading producer and processor of multi-filament polyester and nylon textured yarns, partnered with PhilaU to sponsor a challenge to create new products utilizing REPREVE®, its 100 percent recycled fiber from plastic bottles. During the semester long project, teams from various disciplines partnered to create new and innovative products that allowed for the inclusion of Repreve pellets in molding techniques or Repreve yarns in textile based projects.
