Bahnbrechend.
Und nicht anders.
Some see trash. Others see treasure.
Wie entsteht das bahnbrechende Material?
For every 10,000 tons of ECONYL® raw material, we are able to:
Fässer Rohöl zu
Tonnen
CO2-Emissionen zu.
Damit ist regeneriertes Nylon ECONYL® nicht nur eine Lösung für den Abfall, sondern auch effektiv gegen den Klimawandel.
Es reduziert den Treibhauseffekt von Nylon um bis zu 90% gegenüber dem Material aus Öl.
WAS SIND DIE ABFALLQUELLEN, DIE FÜR DIE HERSTELLUNG VON ECONYL® REGENERIERTEM NYLON VERWENDET WERDEN?
Old carpets destined for landfills
Each year in the U.S., 4 billion pounds of carpet is discarded in landfills. Aquafil Group is committed to help reduce this waste by implementing a closed-loop supply chain where carpets are recycled. Aquafil has two carpet recycling facilities — in Phoenix and Woodland, CA — that can each process up to 36 million pounds […]
Fishing nets from aquaculture and fish industry and ghost nets
Our journey towards sustainability was long. It started in 1990 facing many challenges in the years. When researching for end of life goods made of nylon 6 to produce ECONYL® nylon, we figured out that fishing nets were an important source of the ingredient. There are two different types of fishing nets we are dealing […]
Special Take Back Projects
An international network structured around recovering materials at end of use, based on partnerships with institutions, organisations, private and public associations and companies. This system allows Aquafil to collect large quantities of waste for regeneration into ECONYL® yarn. Examples of this effort are represented by special take back projects in collaboration with different brands such […]
Pre-consumer Waste
