Abstract:
North Carolina’s textile industry faced difficult times in the 2000s after many industries were outsourced. However, Unifi, a textile mill in Yadkinville, found a way to beat the decline of the industry. After years of experimentation and little profit, the company developed Repreve, a fabric made from recycled yarn that is now found in Nike, Patagonia, and Haggar products, as well as Toyota and Ford cars.
