Drive with Sustainable Innovation

In the rapidly evolving automotive industry, making sustainable choices is no longer an option – it is a necessity. Durable, resilient and recyclable, ECONYL® regenerated nylon sets a new standard for vehicles in material innovation and environmental responsibility. Made from 100% nylon waste, ECONYL® nylon can be regenerated an infinite number of times without losing its quality or performance.

The Future in Automotive Materials

A high-quality ingredient that can withstand the wear and tear of vehicle use, ECONYL® regenerated nylon offers the practicality of standard nylon but with a commitment to reduce global waste and preserve the earth’s scarce resources. For every 10,000 tonnes of ECONYL® raw material, we are able to save 70,000 barrels of crude oil, making it the first choice in eco-friendly innovation for vehicle applications.

A Story Worth Telling

The commitment behind ECONYL® regenerated nylon resonates deeply with today’s conscious consumers. Made from nylon waste, such as discarded carpets, fishing nets, and industrial plastic waste, ECONYL® regenerated nylon can be infinitely repurposed, again and again, into endless creations. This narrative appeals to those who seek and support more responsible products and brands in an industry that is shifting towards stricter environmental standards.
