Aquafil Group, a global leader in sustainable materials, has introduced its latest innovation, Econyl Bespoke, a collection of sustainable yarns designed to elevate the rug industry. This groundbreaking development leverages the power of 100% regenerated waste nylon to offer a diverse range of textures and finishes, catering to both handmade and machine-made rugs, as well as residential and commercial applications.
Econyl Bespoke comprises three distinct finishes:
- Econyl ReLana: A 2-ply dyed twist yarn that emulates the timeless appeal of wool, providing a classic and luxurious feel.
- Econyl ReSeta: A 2-ply dyed twist nylon that evokes the softness and lustre of silk, available in both bright and dull finishes.
- Econyl Terra: A durable, high-count air-entangled solution-dyed nylon, offering a unique colour palette and a natural fibre-like aesthetic.
These innovative yarns are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the contract, hospitality, and residential markets. They boast inherent stain resistance, exceptional performance in tufting and weaving processes, and outstanding colour fastness against light, bleach, peroxides, and other chemicals.
Giulio Bonazzi, Chairman and CEO of Aquafil Group, expressed enthusiasm about the potential of Econyl Bespoke, stating, “We’ve already witnessed a positive response to the Bespoke Collection, and we eagerly anticipate the creation of stunning rugs and carpets using our circular yarn.”
By embracing Econyl nylon, manufacturers can contribute to a more sustainable future. Made entirely from pre- and post-consumer nylon waste, Econyl is 100% recycled and infinitely regenerable. This innovative material is also certified by OekoTex and Cradle to Cradle, ensuring its environmental and social responsibility. Additionally, Econyl contributes to LEED v4, BREEAM, and WELL building certifications, further enhancing its sustainability credentials.
As the rug industry continues to evolve, Econyl Bespoke offers a compelling solution for designers, manufacturers, and consumers seeking to create beautiful, durable, and environmentally friendly products. By harnessing the power of circularity, Aquafil is driving a new era of sustainable innovation in the world of rugs and carpets.
