Published on 24/01/2018 - Aquafil widens the potential sources of recycled material from which to obtain caprolatam for the production of nylon. After agreements for the supply of disused fishing nets from northern Europe and the construction of the carpet collection centers used in Us, the company closes an agreement with Genomatica in the United States for the creation of caprolame from biomass. The purpose of the Biomass yarn is to work upstream to avoid sourcing from hydrocarbon sources and further reducing the impact. The regenerated yarns work downstream of the environmental impact, safeguarding space, removing pollution, reusing the product at the end of its life.
