WHAT IS REPREVE?
When we began our development of the ECHO Performance fabric we wanted to source the highest quality, eco-friendly material on the market.ย ย Nothing else compared to the level REPREVE is manufactured to or met the standards found in the manufacturing process of the REPREVE fiber. We knew that only REPREVE would be used for our ECHO Performance fabric.
All great things take time,ย which is why REPREVE is the leading branded recycled fiber.ย It tookย years to developย theย uniqueย andย proprietaryย processย used to createย one of the most earth-friendly fabric ingredients in the world.ย ย Going far beyondย sustainability,ย REPREVEยฎ features state-of-the-art performance technologies:
+ย Moisture wicking inherent in the fiber
+ย Water resistance that’s not a coating.
+ย Dynamic cushioning
+ย Proprietary traceability.
+ย Certified for recycled content.
+ย And is trusted by the world’s leading brands
It all begins with plastic bottles.ย REPREVEย hasย their ownย processing center where theyย collect,ย sort,ย and prepare the bottles to be recycled.ย From theย start,ย REPREVE is able toย verifyย whatย material is going into their fiber.ย The fiberย is madeย in theirย LEEDย Certified manufacturing plantย using sustainable practices,ย like solar energy,ย toย reduce theirย impact on the environment.
Howย doย youย knowย howย manyย bottlesย areย inย oneย shirt?ย Eachย ofย ourย garmentsย undergoesย REPREVE’sย Bottle Calculation processย which isย aย strict process whereย eachย garment isย individually analyzed.ย They in turn,ย provide theย correct bottleย consumptionsย based on fabric yields andย fabricย content to provide the total number ofย recycledย bottles in each product.
REPREVE holds TUNASKINย accountable as well, every year weย areย requiredย as a brand to have our fabric certified by their labs as a point of accountability and integrityย to make sure we are making ourย products out of what we are saying we are.
REPREVE has set out to protect their brand and hold the brands who use their fiber accountable and also have taken steps to make sure that the integrity of the REPREVE name is never compromised.
They use Certified Recycled Content by SCS Global Services to make sure they are using 100% recycled material.ย That was important to us to make sure not only can we prove 100% that our products are made with what they are said to be but you can feel confident that purchasing our products made with REPREVE are from recycled materials.
Everyย recycledย bottle thatย is transformed intoย REPREVEย andย wovenย into aย TUNASKIN Echo Lineย productย means a little less petroleum was wasted. And a little less pollution created.ย ย Small changes can create big movements and that is the purposeย ofย theย TSKย ECHOย Line.ย ย Everyย productย made with REPREVEย helps echoย thatย movement and we are proud to do our part.
