The Strength of Recyclable Nylon

Bring to life your creations with a nylon that blends quality with stewardship. Made from 100% pre- and post-consumer nylon waste, ECONYL® regenerated nylon is entirely born from recycled materials. At the heart of it all is a chemical regeneration process that is carefully engineered to preserve the nylon’s integrity. This yields a resilient, high-performing ingredient to meet your design needs while making a more responsible commitment to curb global waste.

The Same Ingredient, Regenerated

ECONYL® regenerated nylon offers the same high-quality features as traditional nylon 6 but with a lower carbon footprint. For every 10,000 tonnes of ECONYL® raw material, we are able to save 70,000 barrels of crude oil when compared to conventional oil-based nylon. ECONYL® regenerated nylon is also infinitely recyclable. This means that at the end of its life, it can be recycled again and again without ever losing its original properties, making it the ingredient of choice for those who pursue conscious solutions.

The ECONYL®’s Advantage

Made from waste and engineered for recyclability, ECONYL® regenerated nylon offers versatility and durability without sacrificing creativity, quality, or the environment. A lower-impact alternative to the oil-derived nylon 6, it can seamlessly integrate into any existing nylon 6 production process. Specialized fabric treatments may also be applied through direct partnerships with fabric producers to meet product standards and requirements.
