Circular Innovation in Hospitality

ECONYL® regenerated nylon offers a premium and recycled solution for properties looking to elevate their interiors. Designed to withstand high-traffic environments, this exceptionally resilient nylon is made from pre- and post-consumer waste. Through a proprietary chemical recycling process, nylon waste is transformed into a high-quality ingredient. The result is a regenerated material that matches the quality and feel of traditional nylon but with a lower environmental impact compared to fossil-based nylon production.

Bridging the Gap

Choosing products made with ECONYL® regenerated nylon means taking part in environmental stewardship. For every 10,000 tons of ECONYL® caprolactam produced, an estimated equivalent of 70,000 barrels of crude oil is saved compared to traditional fossil-based caprolactam production. What’s more, ECONYL® regenerated nylon can be re-recycled, multiple times. This means that at the end of its life, old, used nylon can be regenerated again and again without ever losing its original properties.

Next-Gen Interiors

As a recycled and recyclable ingredient, ECONYL® regenerated nylon can support your design goals. It is Material Health 4.0 v C2C® certified, contributes to LEED, BREEAM and WELL credits, and has a verified Environmental Product Declaration. Taking circular design a step further, a new “Born R2R®” program (Regenerated to be Regenerable) by Aquafil offers a closed-loop end-of-life solution by inviting manufacturers to co-create carpets.
Like-minded partnerships are the pillar behind this initiative as we explore new paths to encourage more conscious choices in hospitality design. How does Born R2R® work? Discover more.
