  • Product Innovations
    For more information ACTIVITY Product Innovations Fast Retailing is committed to producing high-quality items, and to pursuing sustainability in our clothing and processes. PRODUCT INNOVATIONS PRODUCT These are the latest developments. UNIQLO Recycled Down Jacket [UNIQLO] We use recycled polyester material made from post-consumer PET bottles to support the more efficient use of resources. This year, recycled polyester comprises 32% to 75% of the high-performance, quick-drying Theory DRY-EX Polo Shirt, and 30% of the Fluffy Yarn Fleece Full-Zip Jacket, and Good Wool Fluffy Yarn Fleece Pullover Shirt. As the first initiative of product-to-product recycling under our RE.UNIQLO program, we launched our Recycled Down Jacket in November 2020. This item is filled completely with reclaimed down and feathers taken from pieces of 620,000 down products collected in Japan since the start of 2019. The recycling process uses a completely automated down-separation system newly developed by Toray Industries, Inc. The system offers approximately 50 times the processing capability of manual processes, and has enabled large- scale recycling and production. The down and feathers are washed after separation, and those that meet the criteria for cleaning as new ones are recycled as materials to be used in new down products. [Theory] 'Good Wool' products are part of a signature program in 'Theory For Good', the brand's platform for social and environmental responsibility. The 'Good Collection' is consciously designed to make a positive impact on our communities and the planet. Here, the 'Good Wool' is shown in ultra-fine merino wool sourced from responsibly-raised Australian sheep and woven in Italian mills using the latest energy and water-saving technologies.
