ECONYL® regenerated nylon produced by Aquafil is made out of waste that’s been rescued from landfills and oceans around the world. It performs the same as new nylon and can be recycled and remolded infinitely for the fashion and interior industries. Using ECONYL® reduces the global warming impact of virgin nylon by up to 80% compared with the material generated from oil. More than 1,000 textile brands across the world utilize ECONYL® to create their designs sustainably. (less)
