Applications
Aquafil has become a mainstay of the manufacturing industry in three main market segments: individual contract, automotive, and residential. A considerable share of all of the flooring yarn sales involves ECONYL® nylon.
Automotive
The world’s top automotive manufacturers including Audi, BMW, and Mercedes use Aquafil’s Nylon 6 yarn for mats and upholstery because of its high quality, performance, versatility, and sustainable features. Electric vehicle manufacturers are also adopting ECONYL® nylon to reduce their environmental footprint while enhancing the sustainability of their vehicles.
Residential
More and more consumers seek sustainable products to enrich their lives, including their homes. Leading rug and furniture manufacturers are using ECONYL® nylon in their collections to create a wide variety of designs that meet the quality and style criteria of today’s discerning interior designers and consumers.
Contract
The architecture and design community has embraced the need to build and design the spaces where we live, work, learn, travel, and play more sustainably. Working with ECONYL® nylon in their commercial carpeting they are able to reduce the environmental impact of their projects, earn LEED credits, and maintain quality and beauty.
Rugs
Rugs of all shapes, colors, and sizes can now be manufactured more sustainably using ECONYL® nylon. Check collections by the most important designers of rugs to see their gorgeous, durable products made with our yarn.
