Unifi, Inc.’s production of Repreve recycled polyester will be featured Dec. 2 on CNBC’s Sustainability Series - People, Planet & Profit.

People, Planet and Profit examines the bold moves companies are making to find ways to reduce and reuse anything along the supply chain, leading to a leaner, cleaner and greener operation.

A CNBC film crew visited Unifi’s Repreve manufacturing facility in Yadkinville, N.C. on Nov. 24. The television segment will air on CNBC at 8:25 a.m. ET on Wednesday, Dec. 2, and will also be available on its Web site at www.sustainability.cnbc.com.

“Unifi has a long history of reducing our environmental impact, and the Repreve family of products is a natural evolution of that strategy,” said Bill Jasper, president and CEO for Unifi. “Being featured on CNBC’s People, Planet and Profit demonstrates how Unifi is an industry leader in providing sustainable textile solutions.”

Unifi, Inc. (NYSE: UFI) is a diversified producer and processor of multi-filament polyester and nylon textured yarns and related raw materials.

The Greensboro, N.C.-based company adds value to the supply chain and enhances consumer demand for its products through the development and introduction of branded yarns that provide unique performance, comfort and aesthetic advantages.
