Opening new horizons in sustainable design

A responsible choice

Delivering excellence

Bridging Design and Stewardship

ECONYL® regenerated nylon empowers designers to bring new ideas to life using more responsible raw ingredients. Created 100% from waste materials, ECONYL® nylon can be regenerated an infinite number of times without ever losing its qualities, helping narrowing the gap between environmental responsibility and practical application.

Interiors with Responsible Materials

Globally recognized by industry professionals, ECONYL® regenerated nylon is the hallmark of excellence and reliability in carpet, textile, and interior innovation. The established reputation and commitment to circular principles bring long-term value to your creations – such as earning LEED, BREEAM, and WELL points – ensuring that your products not only captivate, but also aid you in achieving your eco-friendly objectives.

When Eco Is Durable

Challenging the narrative that recycled means compromising on quality, ECONYL® regenerated nylon is a high-performing recycled and recyclable alternative to oil-based nylon. The ECONYL® regeneration process uses a chemical recycling method to maintain 100% of the nylon’s characteristics in each cycle. Interior products made with ECONYL® regenerated nylon stand the test of time, merging durability and eco-responsibility.

Colors and Eco-design

Products made with ECONYL® regenerated nylon stand as a more responsible choice without the need to sacrifice artistic excellence. The rich and wide range of color applications opens up a world of design possibilities, offering the flexibility to customize every aesthetic vision, taste, and preference. Taking eco-design a step further, the new “Born R2R®” program (Born Regenerated to be Regenerable) by Aquafil invites designers to co-create products that are made for easy disassembly and recyclability.
