Aquafil rebuilt supply chain and improves sustainability yearly

For every 10,000 tons of raw material, 70,000 barrels of crude oil are saved, reducing fossil fuel use

Transforms waste into high-quality regenerated nylon, cutting plastic pollution

Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by avoiding traditional oil-based nylon production

Recycling ECONYL is costly and energy-intensive, and global scaling is complex

Consumer awareness of recycled nylon and its benefits is low

Aquafil and partners aim to expand ECONYL use beyond fashion

Proves style and sustainability can coexist, setting an example for other textile innovations

Helps the fashion industry reduce waste, lower emissions, and move toward a circular, eco-friendly model
