Nylon is a petroleum-based fibre produced through an energy-intensive chemical process. It is known for its strength, stretch, and durability, commonly used in swimwear, tights, outerwear, and activewear. However, like other synthetic fibres, nylon does not biodegrade and releases microplastics during washing.
Most nylon is virgin and fossil-fuel-derived, although certified recycled nylon is becoming increasingly available. Blending nylon with elastane, as often occurs, complicates recycling and limits circular solutions.
Material sourcing and treatments often carry hidden social, environmental, and animal welfare risks. We help brands understand what they're using, and what it means.
Our team know that it isn’t just about choosing materials that tick boxes, it’s also selecting materials that feel, behave and look the way they should.
With our core focus on fashion, performance and textiles, we offer advice in a way that doesn’t compromise on your product.
