Aquafil, the company, & the ECONYL® brand

Aquafil, the company, & the ECONYL® brand Aquafil is a synthetic fiber manufacturer with its headquarters in Italy and production and recycling plants in many countries in the world. In 2013, Aquafil co-founded Healthy Seas, so it is one of the 3 founding members and also a key player in the value chain of Healthy Seas. The various nylon fishing nets collected by Healthy Seas are in fact sent and later recycled, together with other nylon waste, into ECONYL® yarn, thanks to the ECONYL® Regeneration System. This is a chemical process that can transform nylon waste into new nylon without any loss of quality or performance. The new nylon, called ECONYL®, is used by many of Aquafil’s customers in different industries: fashion, sportswear, swimwear, carpets, car mats, injection molding. https://www.aquafil.com/magazine/ co-founder-of-healthy-seas-foundation/ https://www.econyl.com/it/ healthy-seas/
