ECONYL® Partnership

Imagination is infinite.
So is ECONYL®

Our appetite to create new products and buy new products is infinite. The planet resources aren’t. But it’s ok because we can have both: new products and a better environment.

ECONYL® regenerated nylon is made from waste, otherwise polluting the Earth, such as fishing nets, fabric scraps and carpets, it’s infinitely recyclable and can unleash infinite possibilities for makers, creators and consumers.

It’s exactly the same as virgin nylon and can be recycled, recreated and remoulded infinitely. That means you create new products and buy new products without ever having to use new resources.

 

01_Rescue : The ECONYL® Regeneration System starts with rescuing waste, like fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpet flooring and industrial plastic all over the world. That waste is then sorted and cleaned to recover all of the nylon possible.

02_Regenerate : Through a radical regeneration and purification process, the nylon waste is recycled right back to its original purity. That means ECONYL® regenerated nylon is exactly the same as fossil-based nylon.

03_Remake : ECONYL® regenerated nylon is processed into yarns and polymers for the fashion and interior industries.

04_Reimagine : The beauty of ECONYL® regenerated nylon is that it has the potential to be recycled infinitely, without ever losing its quality. We believe circular design is the future and using ECONYL® is our first step on that journey.

As well as being a solution on waste, ECONYL® regenerated nylon 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.
