AquafilSLO is the most important fibre manufacturer in Slovenia and the only one specialized in the production of nylon 6 for both the textile and the carpet industry. Since 2011 AquafilSLO has operated a globally unique nylon 6 recycling process, in which regenerated nylon ECONYL® is obtained from end-of-life products, such as fishing nets, old carpets, and industrial waste.
AquafilSLO is part of the Aquafil Group, which has 18 plants in 7 countries on three continents and is one of the global leading players in the production of Polyamide 6: a landmark in terms of quality and product innovation. Saving resources, giving new life to materials, operating in the most efficient way to create value: these are the ambitious objectives that have led the Group to become a point of reference for sustainability at an international level.
Regenerated Nylon 6 ECONYL® has the same properties as the standard nylon, but a significantly lower environmental footprint. The greenhouse gasses emissions in the ECONYL® process are up to 90 % lower compared to the traditional petrochemical one. ECONYL® comes from 100% waste material of which a minimum of 50% post-consumer waste is certified.
In Aquafil, ECONYL® is transformed into yarns for apparel and yarns for carpets. These are used in the final products by many international fashion and interior brands that follow the principles of sustainability and circular economy, including Adidas, Stella McCartney, Gucci, Prada and many more. ECONYL® nylon is also used as polymers, with which sunglasses frames or beautiful chairs are produced.
ECONYL® regenerated nylon is a product that can help you close the loop. Made from waste, it is infinitely recyclable and can unleash infinite possibilities for makers, creators and consumers. It is all part of the ECONYL® brand vision to make the world a better place by pioneering closed loop regeneration processes and delivering sustainable products.
