Is polypropylene always the best option for your textile needs? Not necessarily, but that’s where the expertise of our research and development team kicks in to work with our customers in providing the precise solution for their needs. That’s the Drake difference. Check out our VP of Filament Sales and Product Development, Michael Hall’s candid perspective on how far polypropylene can take you and some unique cases on when another material may be a better solution. #drakeextrusion #polyproylene #innovation #drakedifference

Our customers are innovators and Lauren Choi and her team at The New Norm are leading the charge of innovation and sustainability. In this video, Lauren gives some background about The New Norm and how the company got its start by seeing a need to repurpose plastic cups. Drake’s role is taking those cups and doing what we do best— turning them into fibers. From there, The New Norm uses those fibers to 3D knit their pieces. While we produce over 65 million pounds of staple fiber and 20 million pounds of filament fiber per year, our customers know that their fibers are made to order just for them. This is The New Norm’s story, not Drake’s. But we are proud to be a part of it.
