Sustainable dirt collection mats

With the ECONYL® Regeneration System, the Aquafil Group started a highly original industrial research and innovation process that is helping to sustain the environment.

Nylon waste, such as fishing nets that are no longer fit for purpose, and carpet and fabric scraps that would otherwise be destined for disposal, is collected and converted into new yarn. ECONYL® regenerated nylon has exactly the same properties as virgin nylon, but with the added bonus of sustainability.

Because ECONYL® fibres are regenerated entirely from recycled materials, this removes the need for many of the upstream processes required to manufacture a yarn. ECONYL® regenerated nylon is therefore not only a solution to waste but also effectively helping to combat climate change. It reduces the greenhouse effect from nylon by up to 80 % compared to materials made from oil.
