RECYCLED NYLON Nylon is a super-performing fiber : particularly resistant, stretchable and lightweight, it allows us to produce comfy and strong headwear. However, it has a high environmental cost: it comes from a family of polymers called polyamides and like polyester, nylon is made from a non-renewable resource (crude oil) in an energy and chemical intensive process which, however, has the benefit of creating super performing fabrics.
Our strategy includes the conversion of conventional materials to preferred ones with a better environmental and social outcome. Recycled nylon is our reply to the need of performance, but with a lower impact . It’s made from pre-consumer waste that comes from industrial processes, including material scraps that would otherwise have been downgraded or sent to a landfill . Switching to recycled nylon is our way of being less dependent on virgin oil, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and obviously waste material.
