Recycled Polyester Saved This American Factory. Environmentalists Hate It

Unifi survived competition from China by helping fashion brands meet sustainability goals. But not everyone agrees that its polyester made from recycled plastic bottles should be produced in the US.

A visit to one of Unifi's last remaining US polyester plants, in Yadkinville, North Carolina, can make you feel like an optimist.
After driving through a sweet little neighborhood of small homes, you crest the hill and see the Unifi facility on your right: giant silver-gray buildings perched on a tidy, gently rolling lawn that looks like an advertisement for organic milk. A small solar farm sits off to the side, and 18-wheelers branded in grass-green and sky-blue livery pull in and out of the property, dropping off clean PET plastic flake and picking up shipments of polyester fiber.
This is the flagship factory where one of the world's most popular so-called sustainable fibers is manufactured: polyester made from recycled plastic bottles. In the last 18 years, more than 42 billion bottles have flowed globally through the owned and partner facilities of Unifi and been turned into a branded polyester fabric Unifi calls Repreve.
Unifi pioneered this eco-friendly fabric, but today it is far from the only recycled polyester maker. According to Textile Exchange, an industry group that has been pushing the fashion industry to commit to recycled polyester, the apparel industry used 32 million metric tons of polyester fiber in 2019, and approximately 14 percent of this was recycled. That's the equivalent of almost 16 billion bottles a year.
Unifi is unique in one sense, though. Traditionally, polyester manufacturers are hidden in the back of fashion's supply chain. They sell to fabric mills, which sell to garment factories, which sell to brands, which sell to you. But Unifi is special; not only does it have a strong relationship with brands, the brands brag to shoppers about using Repreve in their garments.
Follow the green and blue ceiling decor as it swishes through the all-white, modern lobby of Unifi, past the recycling and compost receptacles, and into a large meeting room, and you'll see some of the wares created with Repreve: Ugg fuzzy slippers, Rothy's ballet flats, Nike sneakers, Levi's stretch jeans, a Patagonia fleece, a Quicksilver fuzzy camouflage hoodie, a North Face jacket, and an Asics sports bra.

Repreve's promise to brands and shoppers is that turning bottles into fiber reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 60 percent when compared to virgin polyester fiber, and water consumption by up to two-thirds. Unifi and its brand partners (like the ones I saw in the showroom, and more) also claim to keep old water bottles from going to landfills, incinerators, or the ocean.
It's because of this promise that this Unifi factory survived the Great Offshoring of textile manufacturing, and the onslaught of cheap Chinese polyester.
Not everyone agrees recycled polyester is part of a better future. Nike is one of Unifi's biggest customers and has bragged that the sportswear brand alone diverts more than one billion plastic bottles a year from landfills and waterways. In May of 2023, a Missouri consumer filed a greenwashing lawsuit against Nike, alleging in part that the recycled polyester in Nike's shoes and shirts isn't actually sustainable. The lawsuit was dismissed, along with a similar complaint against H&M, but it expressed a bubbling resentment against corporations that use recycled polyester to green up their image without addressing the many other forms of environmental and human damage of plastic fashion.
Bottle-to-polyester recycling, once thought to be a key tool in combating our global plastic pollution problem, has been under fire for a few years. 'We've been led to believe that recycled and sustainable are synonymous, when they are anything but,' Maxine Bédat, executive director of the New Standard Institute, a nonprofit pushing for a sustainable fashion industry, told The Guardian in 2021. (When I asked her if she stands by that statement today, she said yes.)
I'm here in Yadkinville because I wanted to see this operation for myself and decide: Is recycled polyester actually sustainable? Or, as many now claim, is it greenwashing, a get-out-of-jail-free card for brands who want to look like they're saving the planet while going on with their toxic, fossil-fueled business as usual?
Over the past two years, that question has morphed into an even more fraught one: Does this factory provide the kind of good, safe factory jobs that Americans say they yearn for, and that Trump's proposed tariffs purport to bring back to our shores? Saved by Sustainability
Unifi CEO Eddie Ingle may look like one of the North Carolina good ol' textile boys—gray hair parted to the side, a neat button down and slacks—but he has a clipped Irish accent, visits the farmers market on Saturdays, and drives a Tesla. He started out as an entry-level mechanical engineer in Ireland, moved to North Carolina in 1987 to join Unifi, and ended up staying for 40 years, with just two years away, before returning in 2020 to take the helm as CEO.
His paternal pride in his workforce can seem vintage.
'The Unifi people, they are just good North Carolinians,' he tells me over a lunch of fried chicken and mashed potatoes in an old farmhouse that Unifi owns, and which serves as a sort of bed and breakfast for visiting fashion professionals. 'They're conscientious, they're hard-working. A lot of our managers have been here 25, 30 years.' (A third of the company's workforce has been there that long, in fact.) 'It's clean, it's safe, and there's a lot of room for advancement. We have good wages, we offer nice benefits.'
'Certainly the labor force has changed a lot over the last 40 years since I've been here,' he adds.
North and South Carolina together used to be a leading global textile hub. The White Oak mill of Cone Mills was once the largest denim mill in the world, and it operated for over 100 years in Greensboro, less than an hour from Unifi's headquarters.

Like many textile plants across the Southeast, Cone's White Oak mill is closed now, one of the many casualties of the great textile offshoring of the late 1990s and early 2000s. There are still a few textile and dye manufacturers around the Carolinas, but the bustling fabric industry in the Greensboro area has given way to pharmaceutical plants, dog food factories, and Amazon warehouses delivering Chinese-made goods.
According to a (yes, self-mythologizing but extremely detailed) history book that Unifi gave me, through the late '90s, Unifi was known as a fiercely competitive innovator that went from win to win, absorbing smaller polyester companies and going public. It was the place to work, a relief from the heat of North Carolina's tobacco and cotton farms.
A lot of Unifi's growth, according to its history book, came from its salesmen convincing brands to try synthetics for an increasing array of products, from drapes to automotive carpeting and military tents. You could make the argument that Unifi is partly responsible for the plasticization of fabrics. Today, polyester makes up more than half of all fashion textiles produced worldwide.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, China was a huge market for Unifi. Unifi says that it and one of its biggest competitors, Macfield (with which it would later merge) were together shipping a million pounds of polyester a week to China. But, the company says, by 1985 China had greatly expanded its own synthetic manufacturing capacity, and slapped tariffs on American polyester. The tide began to shift to the other shore.
The North American Free Trade Agreement took effect in 1994, and when China joined the WTO in 2001, a flood of cheap fabrics crashed into the United States. "Between 1997 and 2009, more than 650 textile plant facilities closed in the United States," notes the Textile Heritage Museum in Burlington, North Carolina. Unifi's history book says of the 115 American polyester manufacturing companies in the 1970s, only 12 remain in business as of 2022, when the book was published.
The Chinese government was financially supporting the growth of its textile industry; it became impossible for American polyester producers to compete. 'They were selling below raw material costs,' former president Tom Caudle told the company's biographer. 'For the next five to seven years we couldn't shut plants down fast enough and consolidate fast enough to keep up.'
Unifi survived, though it shrank and laid off hundreds of employees, closed several plants, and stopped trying to compete with China's cheap polyester. Instead, it sources PET resin, then melt-extrudes it and does what is called texturing, covering, and twisting to turn it into high-end, functional fabrics that have built-in features like water repellency or fire retardancy. Still, China, Vietnam, and Taiwan have a way of copying our innovations, and then doing them with as much skill, for cheaper.
About 70 percent of that polyester is now made in China.
It was around 2000 that Unifi discovered the fabric that would save its business. It was trying to recycle some bad runs of polyester that would have normally gone in the trash. Even after mixing in virgin PET flake, the experimental product from Unifi and other mills was at first low quality and manila-folder yellow, only suitable to be dyed and put into a fuzzy fleece, and that is where it went. (Both PolarTec and Patagonia had launched their recycled polyester fleece in 1993, though it's unclear if they launched it together in a partnership.)

After years of work to create a process that would purify the waste flake so it could be made into a high-quality, white polyester thread, Unifi debuted Repreve at the Outdoor Retailer show in 2004. After a few years, it took off.
Fashion brands did not need much convincing to switch to Unifi's new fabric. It had the sheen of sustainability without the unreliability of cotton (a seasonal crop with human rights issues) or the stigma of wool (which draws the ire of animal rights activists). It also came with a ready-made marketing story, literally—Repreve products are sold with a green hang tag in the shape of a water bottle that will sometimes even say how many used bottles went into that particular product.
Ingle says the fashion brands Unifi works with 'don't have to compromise anything' when they choose Repreve for their garments. 'They might have paid a little bit more, but the quality of the product is in many ways better.'
While rumors of fake recycled polyester dog the industry overall, Repreve is also infused with a proprietary chemical tracer, so the material can be tested to ensure it was actually made in a Unifi facility of old bottles.
Since Repreve was launched, it has grown to make up 30 percent of Unifi's revenue. Sold at a premium price, it's been a bright spot for Unifi even when overall demand for fashion and fashion materials has fallen into a global post-pandemic slump. In February 2024, Unifi told investors it would cut costs and focus on Repreve to shore up its finances.
'I'm fairly convinced we wouldn't be where we are today without it,' Ingle says of Repreve. Usually, the textile business is seen as dirty and outdated. But the Repreve factory in North Carolina buzzes with new machinery and young engineers. 'You can attract people when you're in the sustainability business,' he says.
Seen up close, Repreve seems like a win for the environment and a win for American jobs. 'Brands like Adidas, Nike, Patagonia, The North Face, they've got all these big commitments around sustainability. If they didn't have a regional secure supply of recycled yarn, there would be a lot of businesses that would just be moved to Asia,' Ingle says.
But once you step outside the factory, the picture gets muddy. A Battle Over Bottles
When Coca-Cola first introduced its PET plastic bottle in 1978, Unifi's founder Allen Mebane worried the beverage industry would take up all the supply of PET resin. Instead, 20 years later, the opposite has happened, with polyester plants buying up the supply of used water bottles. Forty to 60 truckloads of plastic waste get dropped off at Unifi's bottle processing plant per week, bought from material recovery facilities as far away as Michigan and Maine.
In 2023, the CBC did a high-profile investigative piece into fashion's greenwashing, and focused most of its critique on recycled polyester. 'If you're using plastic bottles, you're actually taking bottles out of a potentially closed-loop recycling system, and then giving them a one-way ticket to a landfill disposal,' George Harding-Rolls, a sustainable fashion advocate, told the CBC.
But most bottles aren't being recycled anyway. The collection rates for PET plastic started rising around the time Unifi debuted Repreve, hitting 30 percent in 2012 and hovering around there for a decade. Meanwhile, demand for recycled PET from both the fashion and packaged food industry, who have both committed to sourcing recycled material, has soared. It's expected to outpace supply by 2030.
'You know who's complaining about it? The bottle companies,' Ingle says. 'Because they believe the textile industry is taking their bottles.'
'Is that true?' I ask.
'Well, yeah,' he laughs. 'The market for recycled bottles is very transparent. The price of recycled bottles changes twice or sometimes three times a week. So if you want to buy a bottle and turn that bottle back into a bottle, have at it. Nobody is stopping the bottle industry from doing that.'
Well, there is one thing. Unifi's willingness to pay more for old bottles, because it's turning them into a premium product that brands and consumers will pay more for, may be driving the market rate of old water bottles up. But nobody wants to pay more for a soda in a bottle made with recycled plastic.

When I tour the bottle processing plant, large bales of crushed plastic packaging, each averaging roughly 1,000 pounds, are lined up, ready to be run through the sorting, cleaning, and flaking process. There's a clear difference in quality between the clean and uniform bales from states like Michigan, Maine, Vermont, and New York that mandate deposits of a few cents on bottles to incentivize collection, and the chaotic and dirty bales from states that treat recycling as a purely volunteer activity.
North Carolina made it illegal to throw out plastic water bottles in 2009, but despite pleas to supply local industry with material so it can create jobs, a 2021 report put the state's PET recycling rate at a measly 8 percent. Ingle thinks if North Carolina passed a bottle bill that levied a 5- or 10-cent deposit on each bottle, Unifi could get everything it needs from within its borders. 'Unifi is involved at the state level in various efforts to increase the recycling rates of PET post-consumer bottles,' he later wrote by email.
So what we seem to have is not a demand problem, but a supply problem born of bad government policy.
Kirstie Pecci, executive director of Just Zero, a nonprofit that works across the country on waste issues, sees all bottle recycling—no matter what they are made into—as more insidious. 'You're giving cover to a bad practice, which is putting beverages or food in plastic. We should not be drinking or eating out of plastic in any way, shape, or form.'
And what about claims that turning bottles into polyester locks PET into a landfill-bound product? Sure, some polyester clothing is for all intents and purposes a single-use product. (Hello, ugly $7 polyester dress bought off of Instagram.) But not the PETA-approved recycled polyester fill inside my well-loved puffy hiking jacket, the knit uppers of my Nike running shoes, or the recycled polyester yoga leggings that I can't bring myself to get rid of because they still look perfect after seven solid years of use.
Polyester, for all its faults, does perform. It's lightweight, durable, impervious to water, and increases the durability of any garment it is in. Is it overused? Yes, of course. Polyester baby onesies are an abomination. But I can't imagine doing serious outdoor activities like camping, jogging, or snowboarding without synthetics of some sort.
As I've reported, the fashion industry has been looking for a way to recycle polyester garments into polyester fabric, instead of relying on bottles to make more raw fabric. Unifi has been recycling preconsumer waste polyester fabric into polyester fabric for over a decade, for The North Face. It has a textile take-back program in the US, and last year expanded its textile-to-textile recycling to its plants in China. But this is almost completely repurposed factory waste.
The barriers to recycling post-consumer polyester into polyester are almost completely out of Unifi's control. Post-consumer polyester fashion is almost always mixed with other materials and hung with zippers and trims. And according to Meredith Boyd, Unifi's chief product officer, it is often dyed, printed, and finished with substances that would become so toxic if they were run through the high-temperature recycling process that doing so would be an OSHA violation.
Last year, H&M announced that it is committing to buy $600 million of recycled polyester over seven years from Syre, a Swedish startup that chemically recycles polyester by breaking it down into monomers and then remanufacturing it. Syre says it will open its first pilot plant by the end of this year, and build more plants with the aim of producing 3 million metric tons of circular polyester in a decade, including a gigascale plant in Vietnam in 2027.
When I ask, Ingle says he is excited for the new chemical recycling technologies coming up, because Unifi can buy that recycled raw material and spin it into fiber. 'It took 50 years to build out the virgin infrastructure. It won't take 50 years to build out the chemical recycling infrastructure, but it's going to happen and we're going to be right there,' he says. Too Toxic for America?

There are legitimate questions about whether the Unifi plant can be considered a clean and green workplace.
In the bottle processing plant in Reidsville, North Carolina, drifts of plastic particles, like snow banks, are piled in every nook of the machinery that chops the bottles into flake. When I ask our tour guide, a floor manager, if he worries about breathing it in, he says he doesn't. "We do a good job of cleaning it up," he says, adding that the bags of dust that are vacuumed up are sold off, and the wastewater is filtered.
But I'm concerned. A 2023 study of a UK plastics recycling plant found that even after the installation of state-of-the-art filters, around 6 percent of the plastic being processed was released into the wastewater as micro and nanoplastic, while the air around the facility was full of microplastics small enough to be hazardous to human health.
Scientists are still puzzling out what microplastics do to our health, but one study found that people with IBS tended to have more microplastics, including PET and polyamide (of which nylon is one type), in their gut. While PET seems to be one of the most benign out of all the plastics, at least two studies have found BPA, a hormone-disrupting chemical, in polyester baby clothing, and a number of brands agreed to a settlement with California lawmakers in 2023 over the presence of BPA in polyester athletic shirts.
In addition, water utility managers in Reidsville have alleged that Unifi and other polyester manufacturers could be potentially be sources of 1,4-dioxane, a probable human carcinogen, in the Cape Fear watershed, which provides drinking water for over 1 million people as it flows from central to southeast North Carolina. Technically, that's not illegal (especially since Unifi, along with other industrial sources and several towns, successfully lobbied against a North Carolina rule limiting 1,4-dioxane in wastewater). Because 1,4-dioxane is a byproduct of manufacturing PET resin, the EPA declared in late 2024 that almost any exposure to 1,4-dioxane constitutes an unreasonable risk to the health of polyester workers and surrounding communities. There are (very costly) ways to treat wastewater for 1,4-dioxane, so how ensuing regulations would affect Unifi remains to be seen, especially since the EPA doesn't currently seem keen to do any regulating of toxic chemical exposure.
Ingle and Boyd both declined to speak in detail about these issues. In person, they cited the advice of Unifi's counsel (BPA), said Unifi follows all regulations (1,4-dioxane), or pled ignorance (microplastics). Follow-up questions to Boyd went unanswered. Ingle responded to follow-up questions via email by writing, 'We maintain active participation in The Microfibre Consortium, in order to support academic and industry research into the source and impact of fiber fragmentation from textiles into the natural environment.' And 'We are compliant with all local, state, and federal regulations for all of our sites.'
To advocates, each micro-scandal is proof that there is no environmentally friendly polyester. 'We can't do this sustainably in a nontoxic way, it's literally impossible,' Pecci says.
But I left the Repreve plant wondering if we're letting perfect be the enemy of good American jobs. Polyester will continue to be in demand, and it will either be made here in a compliant factory using recycled sources, or abroad in a sketchy factory using fresh petrochemicals. Pecci says she doesn't want to 'call out that company or those people, because they might be the nicest people in the world doing the best they can with what they have.' She described for me a utopia in which nontoxic and natural clothing is all made here and then composted and recycled here. Sounds gorgeous, and impossible.
In February of this year, Unifi announced it was closing its Madison, North Carolina, polyester processing plant. It would ship some of its machinery to its Latin American plants, and offer the Madison employees new job opportunities at the Yadkinsville and Reidsville plants, which remain in service.
For now, anyway.

Housing market map: Zillow just released its updated home price forecast for 400-plus housing markets

Want more housing market stories from Lance Lambert's ResiClub in your inbox? Subscribe to the ResiClub newsletter. Housing market map: Zillow just released its updated home price forecast for 400-plus housing markets Perplexity's new AI features are a game changer. Here's how to make the most of them What's behind the rise in interim CEOs Heading into the year, Zillow economists forecasted that U.S. home prices ​​were likely to rise 2.6% in 2025. However, this year, the housing market—in particular in the Sun Belt—was softer than expected and Zillow has made several downgrades to its forecast for national home prices. This week, newly released data from Zillow shows that U.S. home prices have decelerated to a year-over-year increase of just 0.4%. Zillow economists now expect U.S. home prices to decline by 0.7% between May 2025 and May 2026. 'With inventory up nearly 20% over the previous year, buyers had more options in May than at any time since July 2020. Despite higher sales, sellers still outnumber buyers,' wrote Zillow economists. 'This gives buyers more time to decide and more power in negotiations. Zillow's market heat index shows a balanced market nationwide, one that's a lot more buyer-friendly than in recent years. Competition among buyers declined to the lowest level seen in May in Zillow records, reaching back through 2018.' Not only do Zillow economists predict soft national home price growth this year, but they're also predicting that the housing market will only see 4.1 million U.S. existing home sales in 2025. That would mark the third-straight year of suppressed existing home sales. For comparison, in pre-pandemic 2019, there were 5.3 million existing home sales in the U.S. Zillow economists added: 'Home values have fallen in 22 of the 50 largest metro areas over the past year, and sellers cut prices on almost 26% of listings nationwide—another May high in Zillow records. Homes that sell typically do so in 17 days, about four more than last year and only two days fewer than pre-pandemic averages.' This embedded content is not available in your region. Among the 300 largest U.S. housing markets, Zillow expects the strongest home price appreciation between May 2025 and May 2026 to occur in these 10 areas: Atlantic City, New Jersey → 3.4% Kingston, New York → 2.7% Knoxville, Tennessee → 2.6% Pottsville, Pennsylvania → 2.5% Torrington, Connecticut → 2.4% Rochester, New York → 2.2% Syracuse, New York → 2.1% Fayetteville, Arkansas → 2.1% Rockford, Illinois → 2.1% Yuma, Arizona → 2.0% Among the 300 largest U.S. housing markets, Zillow expects the weakest home price appreciation between May 2025 and May 2026 to occur in these 10 areas: Houma, Louisiana → -9.4% Lake Charles, Louisiana → -8.9% New Orleans → -7.2% Alexandria, Louisiana → -6.7% Lafayette, Louisiana → -6.6% Shreveport, Louisiana → -6.4% Beaumont, Texas → -6.2% San Francisco → -5.5% Midland, Texas → -5.3% Odessa, Texas → -5.3% While Zillow expects home prices across most of Florida to be flat over the coming year, ResiClub remains skeptical. After all, Florida has experienced a significant increase in active inventory and months of supply over the past year, which could signal potential pricing weakness. Indeed, prices of single-family homes and condos are currently declining in most Florida housing markets.

‘Everyone, Keep Oil Prices Down,' Trump Says Without Context

President Donald Trump issued a warning to keep oil prices down in a cryptic Truth Social post Monday that comes amid fears oil and gas prices could surge if Iran retaliates against U.S. strikes by shutting down the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump returns to the White House prior to a meeting with his National Security ... More Council to discuss the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel on June 21, 2025 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Craig Hudson For The Washington Post via Getty Images) The Washington Post via Getty Images 'Everyone, keep oil prices down,' Trump said in an all-caps post, writing 'I'm watching! You're playing right into the hands of the enemy. Don't do it!' It's unclear who Trump was referring to, but it's possible he was addressing oil producers. In a subsequent post directed at the Department of Energy, Trump wrote 'DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!' The Energy Department does not drill for oil, but manages the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and provides research and policy support related to oil production, among other industry-adjacent functions. Oil prices were flat Monday following the U.S. military's surprise attacks on three Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, but analysts warned prices could surge if Iran retaliates by closing the Strait of Hormuz, a key transportation route for oil and gas that links the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea. 30%. That's how much oil prices could rise, to up to $110 per barrel, if Iran moves to close the Strait and oil flow declines 50% for at least one month, Goldman Sachs cautioned Monday. Prices for international oil were flat Monday at $77 per barrel by 10 a.m. EDT. Key Background Iran has vowed to respond to the attack, with its Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi tweeting early Sunday that it 'reserves all options,' calling the attack 'outrageous' and vowing that it would 'have everlasting consequences.' Iranian parliament has approved a plan to potentially shut down the Strait, Iranian state media reported after the U.S. attacks Saturday. A quarter of global oil and 20% of liquefied natural gas is transported through the 90-mile waterway, according to The New York Times, which notes most of the oil that passes through the Strait goes to Asia. Iran would likely shut down the Strait by lacing it with mines, requiring the U.S. military to engage in a potentially dangerous demining operation, The Times notes.
