Unifi, Inc. continued its support as an official recycling partner of the 80th annual Wyndham Championship.
Plastic bottles from last year’s championship were transported to Unifi’s bottle processing center in Reidsville, North Carolina and transformed into Repreve recycled fibers at its Yadkinville plant.
The Wyndham apparel stores at the tournament offered a special selection of tournament branded products made by L2 Brands from Repreve recycled fibers.
Since the introduction of Repreve, Unifi has transformed more than 16 billion plastic bottles into products, with the goal of reaching 20 billion by 2020. With the participation of tens of thousands of golf fans, an estimated 1.8 tons of plastic bottles were collected, recycled and diverted from landfills after last year’s tournament.
