ECONYL
What is Econyl?
Econyl is a recycled nylon fibre made from fishing nets and waste collected from the seas and oceans. After treatment, it is transformed into a fibre and then into a fabric that is ideal for making a wide range of sportswear and swimwear.
At Luz collections, the materials are used to make a wide range of products, including wetsuits, cycling suits, swimwear, leggings, bras, t-shirts, shorts and hooded mackintoshes (K-Way).
Why econyl?
Econyl produces 80% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than conventional nylon, a significant reduction given that nylon accounts for 9% of the synthetic fibres used worldwide.
To manufacture econyl, the raw material is collected in the oceans, whereas it would have taken between 400 and 1,000 years to decompose in a marine environment. By producing econyl fabric, the oceans are cleaned of the millions of abandoned fishing nets that threaten marine flora and fauna.
