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.
