ECONYL
Econyl is a 100% recycled and recyclable nylon fiber. It is made from collected plastic waste such as used water bottles, fishing nets, yarn scraps or industrial nylon textiles.
IS IT ECO-RESPONSIBLE ?
Econyl is entirely recycled and recyclable, ad infinitum. It allows the exploitation of plastic waste, very often found in our oceans. It is a recycling process that is beneficial to the environment.
Econyl also reduces the production of certain synthetic fibers such as polyester or elastane.
WHAT ARE THE LIMITS ?
Econyl is an effective alternative to nylon.
It is, however, not a perfect solution. Nylon remains a synthetic chemical material derived from petroleum.
