ECONYL

ECONYL is a regenerated nylon yarn made from waste materials such as fishing nets, fabric scraps, and old carpets. The process of creating ECONYL involves collecting these materials, cleaning them, and then breaking them down into their original polymer. This regenerated nylon is then spun into yarn that has the same quality as virgin nylon. Companies use ECONYL to produce a wide range of products, including fashion apparel, swimwear, upholstery, and carpets. The primary environmental benefit of using ECONYL is the reduction of waste and the conservation of resources. By utilizing pre- and post-consumer waste, the production process requires less energy and emits fewer greenhouse gases compared to the production of virgin nylon. This circular economy approach aims to minimize the environmental footprint of textile and fashion industries. Several well-known brands have incorporated ECONYL into their product lines, highlighting its versatility and sustainable properties.
