Not only is ECONYL® regenerated nylon yarn used to create beautiful carpets, but the revolutionary yarn can be regenerates endlessly, creating countless possibilities for fashion brands to create clothing that is truly circular.
In fashion, you can find ECONYL® regenerated nylon in high-end designer handbags, stylish clothes, hosiery and lingerie. The ECONYL® brand promotes constant creativity, wherever it’s used.
This year, Matilda de Angelis wears a mid-length Prada Re-Nylon cocktail dress made from Aquafil’s ECONYL® regenerated nylon yarn. The yarn is derived from a variety of plastic waste, from post-consumer carpets to marine plastic debris such as ghost fishing nets collected by initiatives including Healthy Seas, winner of the 2019 GCFA Circular Economy award.
