The ECONYL® Regeneration System
With a strong commitment to circularity, after years of investments and research Aquafil has launched the project which has now become its flagship, the ECONYL® regeneration system.
In 2011, the Group completed the transformation of Nylon 6 waste into regenerated ECONYL® nylon, maintaining the same quality level and performance as standard nylon.
ECONYL® nylon is an ingredient that can help Brands aim at producing in a responsible way and close the loop. As well as being a solution to waste, it is also better when it comes to climate change. It reduces the global warming impact of nylon by up to 90% compared with the material from oil.
The project never stops.
In July 2021 the Company launched the ECONYL® e-shop allowing conscious shoppers access to products made from ECONYL® nylon in one place for the first time. The e-shop champions a range of global brands and each product is categorised according to values such as Vegan, Zero Waste, Craftsmanship, Eco Design, Ethical Labour, Size Inclusive and Local Production, amongst others.
The platform also hosts a variety of content to educate and strengthen knowledge about sustainability and circularity for both brands and consumers.
