made from waste

made from waste

A solution on waste.

For every 10 000 tons of raw material, it is able to save 70 000 barrels of crude oil and avoid 65 100 tons of CO2 eq. emissions.

At the same time, it reduces the global warming impact of nylon by up to 90% compared with the material from oil.

how?

RESCUE. REGENERATE. REMAKE. REIMAGINE.

1.
rescue

The ECONYL® Regeneration System starts with rescuing waste otherwise polluting the Earth, like fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpet flooring and industrial plastic all over the world. That waste is then sorted and cleaned to recover all of the nylon possible.

2. 
regenerate

Through a radical regeneration and purification process, the nylon waste is recycled right back to its original purity. That means ECONYL® regenerated nylon is exactly the same as fossil-based nylon.

3. 
remake

ECONYL® regenerated nylon is processed into yarns and polymers for the fashion and interior industries.

4.
reimagine


This is where BORNEO comes in. Our swimwear pieces are made with high quality Italian fabrics made out of 78% ECONYL® regenerated nylon.
