Nylon
reimagined

An ingredient that is reshaping the future

ECONYL® regenerated nylon is a premium ingredient that comes entirely from waste.
It is also infinitely recyclable. This means that at the end of its use, as a single material, ECONYL® regenerated nylon can be recollected and regenerated into brand-new nylon, again and again.
At the heart of it all is a breakthrough chemical recycling process that transforms nylon waste back into its true form, maintaining its original quality and integrity.

Products made with ECONYL® regenerated nylon not only contribute to reducing our environmental impact but also open up new horizons in eco-design.

The ECONYL® Regeneration System empowers us
to create products of the future.

Products that are valuable today and can be
recyclable tomorrow.

Sustainability
Reimagine

ECONYL® regenerated nylon is more than just an ingredient. It is a commitment to the fact that quality can be perpetual.

We join forces with other visionaries to design products with the end in mind, pushing the boundaries in eco-design to create innovative products made for easy disassembly and recyclability.

Sustainability
Rescue

The ECONYL® Regeneration System rescues waste that would otherwise pollute the Earth.

Fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpet flooring, and industrial plastic are collected from all corners of the world to be transformed. Once retrieved, the waste materials are carefully sorted and cleaned to recover all of the nylon possible.

Sustainability
Regenerate

An advanced chemical recycling process restores the nylon waste into brand-new nylon.

This method, unlike traditional mechanical processes, allows ECONYL® regenerated nylon to retain 100% of the qualities of new nylon but without the environmental footprint of conventional oil-based nylon. This restorative process paves the way for premium quality and environmental stewardship to coexist in a continuous loop.

FACTS & FIGURES

Beyond reducing plastic pollution, ECONYL® regenerated nylon helps
alleviate climate change by foregoing the harmful environmental
impacts associated with traditional oil-based nylon production.

For every 10,000 tonnes of ECONYL® raw
material, we are able to save:

70,000

barrels of crude oil.
