Econyl

Econyl is more than just a fabric — it’s a chance to design with purpose. Made from recycled industrial and post-consumer waste, Econyl offers the same strength and versatility as traditional nylon, but with a far lighter impact on the planet. Available in a wide range of colors and patterns, it gives fashion students the freedom to create boldly while supporting a circular future. With Econyl, sustainability and style go hand in hand.

Econyl tackles the growing problem of plastic waste by turning it into a valuable resource. Made from discarded fishing nets, fabric scraps, and other nylon waste, it helps reduce pollution in oceans and landfills. At the same time, it offers designers a sustainable alternative to virgin nylon, without sacrificing quality or performance. Econyl supports a circular fashion model, where materials are reused instead of wasted.

Offering the same performance as virgin nylon, it’s just as durable, flexible, and waterproof — ready to meet the demands of modern design. For fashion students, it’s an invitation to innovate responsibly, blending high performance with low impact.
