ECONYL® – The yarns

The yarn of several of our collections are made of ECONYL®. The material is made of 100% of Nylon 6 waste. ECONYL® has exactly the same properties as standard nylon with a more durable edge: it can be regenerated indefinitely without loss of quality.

By recycling the materials ECONYL® yarn contributes to a circular economy.

The ECONYL® Regeneration System by Aquafil

1. Rescue

Aquafil collects waste (fishing nets, dust scraps, old carpets, etc.). The materials are cleaned and sorted.

2. Regenerate

After a thorough regeneration and purification process, the nylon waste is returned to its original state.

3. Remake

ECONYL® regenerated nylon is processed into yarns.

4. Reimagine

With this new yarn, manufacturers such as Tapibel can get to work and create new carpet collections made with ECONYL®.

Aquafil

Our partner, Aquafil, produces the regenerated nylon 6 we use and delivers durable ECONYL® yarn directly from their factory. We then process the yarn into various wall-to-wall and carpet tile collections. 25% of the yarns we use are ECONYL®.

For the production of 10,000 tons of ECONYL® material:

70,000 barrels of oil are saved
65,100 tons of CO₂ emissions are avoided
