That\u2019s why it is one of the main fabrics used by Oka\u00efdi. Determined to find more responsible fabrics (polyester is made from petrol), Oka\u00efdi seized the opportunity to use REPREVE to fill its padded sleeved clothing like parkas and down jackets. In 2017, 90% of the padded sleeved clothing in Oka\u00efdi\u2019s and Oba\u00efbi\u2019s Spring-Summer and Autumn-Winter collections were made with a recycled polyester fill. This equates to 9.3 million bottles being given a second life. This is one way Oka\u00efdi can take concrete steps towards more responsible textiles, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using recycled materials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>As Najla, a market manager at Oka\u00efdi explains: <\/strong>\u201c<strong>Oka\u00efdi started using this fibre in its collections in 2017.<\/strong> We are happy to be part of this partnership with such a reputable, responsible company. It\u2019s another way to raise awareness among our customers and it fits in well with our commitment to progress. We want our customers to know more about the challenges of sustainable development and help them play an important role in shaping the world for future generations. We also want to encourage them to support us by opting for more responsible fabrics, and we&#8217;d like to thank everyone who buys these products! <strong>In 2018 we are making a further commitment to REPREVE<\/strong> by using it for all the padding in the Oka\u00efdi\/Oba\u00efbi Spring-Summer collections. Come and check them out for yourself!\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Fingers crossed for more awards for our increasingly sustainable collection!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.okaidi.fr\/nos-engagements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find out more about Oka\u00efdi\u2019s commitments<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/unifi-announces-recipients-of-inaugural-repreve-champions-of-sustainability-awards-300588446.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More information on the Champions of Sustainability awards<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/repreve.com\/champions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out the prizewinners<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oka\u00efdi wins the Champions of Sustainability Newcomer Award for its commitment to sustainable development.
