WHY ECONYL®?
We are dedicated to using only sustainable materials in our production. Using ECONYL® regenerated nylon we have a double advantage for the environment. On one hand, waste material that would otherwise remain waste in the environment is used, and from the other side, precious fossil raw materials that are normally used in the production of nylon are saved.
