Designed and planned entirely by the Aquafil Group, ECONYL® Regeneration System is the world’s most efficient industrial system for the production of nylon 6 from 100% regenerated materials.

In an attempt to go sustainable, Aquafil’s ECONYL brand has partnered with Levi’s to develop a new men’s collection made from their pioneering work, regenerated nylon. The same has come from and has been regenerated from waste materials such as fishing nets and spent carpets.

ECONYL fiber puts a check on the global waste streams and channelizes the same to produce a wide range of textile products, including socks, sportswear, underwear, swimwear, and carpets. This is the first time the regenerated yarn will be used in jeans.

This new collection is a sustainable move that aims to make a small dent in the ocean’s pollution and also sever a dependence on cotton production. By partnering with ECONYL for the first time, Levi’s too aims to show its commitment to a sustainable supply chain.

Giulio Bonazzi, the Chairman and CEO of Aquafil, has also mentioned that he foresees a world where everyday items don’t have to come at the expense of the environment. This new partnership will further seal that intention towards sustainable materials and can be used to reinvigorate products that have been traditionally made.
