Econyl is a fantastic regenerated nylon fiber made from discarded carpets and fishing nets that would otherwise end up in landfills. Developed by Aquafil, it not only helps reduce waste but also has a 90% lower impact on global warming compared to virgin materials, mainly because it uses much less water in its production. What a win for the planet!
