Nylon has been around for almost a full century, and the material has thousands of practical uses. However, the resources used to make nylon leave a lasting effect on the planet. Nylon requires crude oil extraction, requires a huge amount of energy to produce, does not biodegrade and is responsible for a decline in marine life population. ECONYL offers a responsible, sustainable alternative to nylon that’s not only more eco-friendly than nylon, but also helps clean up waste on the planet! From carpets to swimwear, shop products that are made from ECONYL as a substitute for nylon fabrics.
