ECONYL® nylon
Our flagship product is ECONYL® regenerated nylon, a product that represents the solution between sustainability and creativity and which can be used for the design of “products of the future”.
The ECONYL® brand is not just yarn. It represents a new way of thinking, which combines our drive for innovation with our commitment to the environment.
Nylon waste – such as fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpet flooring and industrial plastic – is recovered and converted into new yarn, which has the same qualitative characteristics as traditional nylon.
