Unifi Inc. has announced the expansion of its REPREVE® Recycling Center, which opened in Yadkinville, N.C., in May 2010. Capacity at the center will increase from 42 million pounds to 72 million pounds annually, driven by demand from new customer adoptions, with companies such as Ford, The North Face, Nike, Volcom and Patagonia. “As we bring the new machinery online, it’s clear that the increased versatility will help better position REPREVE to support the growth and demand for recycled products,” said Roger Berrier, Unifi president and CEO.
