From PET bottle to high-tech fibre

From plastic collected within 50 km of waterways or coastal areas, mainly in developing countries, Unifi produces Repreve Our Ocean recycled fiber.

When Unifi was looking for a partner to set up a shredding process in 2018, they chose shredding solutions from Lindner. Today a total of three Lindner Micromat 2000 prepare plastic and textile waste for its journey to extrusion, spinning and finally winding the fibers used by some of the world’s best-known brands, such as Pottery Barn, Levi’s, and Tom’s Shoes.

The Lindner shredders from the Micromat series are specially designed for the requirements of post-commercial and post-consumer plastics recycling. They have strong, high-torque motors for powerful shredding and are designed and built to optimize uptime and streamline maintenance tasks.
