Unifi, Inc. (NYSE: UFI), the company behind REPREVE® recycled fibers, has introduced A.M.Y.® Peppermint, a yarn designed with built-in odor control using sustainably sourced peppermint oil. The new yarn provides lasting freshness and offers brands a botanical alternative to conventional antimicrobial treatments.
A.M.Y. Peppermint – freshness powered by mint
The yarn is engineered to maintain odor control through 50 home washes, giving products long-term performance. It is available worldwide in both virgin and REPREVE recycled polyester. The REPREVE options are traceable with FiberPrint® technology and certified by U-TRUST®, GRS, and SCS for recycled content.
Unifi CEO Eddie Ingle said, “A.M.Y. Peppermint gives brands a powerful tool to deliver freshness and performance through the power of nature.”
A.M.Y. Peppermint is versatile, with uses in apparel, footwear, home textiles, and even transportation. It joins Unifi’s broader A.M.Y. portfolio, which already includes yarns infused with silver and zinc oxide for anti-odor properties. Brands can also combine the technology with other performance features.
Expanding circular solutions with REPREVE Takeback and ThermaLoop insulation
Alongside A.M.Y. Peppermint, Unifi announced that REPREVE Takeback™ and ThermaLoop™ insulation are now made entirely from textile waste (excluding colorants, additives, and low-melt polymers).
- REPREVE Takeback now includes circular polyester in white-dyeable high-performance filament, staple fiber, and solution-dyed colors.
- ThermaLoop insulation, which was previously 50% recycled, is now fully made from textile waste and offered in down-like fiber, fiberball, and padding, delivering both warmth and performance.
These steps strengthen Unifi’s circular product portfolio and support its target of recycling the equivalent of 1.5 billion T-shirts’ worth of textile waste by FY2030.
