Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
Dare to Care
Layla Maie uses ECONYL® nylon made with pre and post-consumer waste.
Looking good is doing good. We are committed to reducing harmful waste by using reimagined and regenerated materials.
Recycled Fabrics
Regenerated Nylon from Waste
Reduce Global Warming
Save Our Seas
From Scraps to Style
ECONYL® regenerated nylon is made from discarded fishing nets from the oceans, and fabric scraps from mills.
For every 1,000 tons of ECONYL® materials used, we save 7,000 barrels of crude oil & 5,700 tons of CO2 eq. emissions.
It reduces the global warming impact by 80% compared to materials made from oil.
Reduces the 640,000 tons of fishing nets that are abandoned at the bottom of the ocean every year saving marine life across the world.
Join us in reducing waste and saving our seas by utilizing materials that are recycled, recreated and re-imagined.
Here’s How it Works...
The ECONYL® Regeneration System starts with rescuing from landfills and oceans all over the world. That waste is then sorted and cleaned to recover all of the nylon possible.
RegenerateThrough a radical regeneration and purification process, the nylon waste is recycled right back to its original purity. That means ECONYL® regenerated nylon is exactly the same as virgin nylon.
RemakeECONYL® regenerated nylon is processed into carpet yarn and textile yarn for the fashion and interior industries.
ReimagineFashion brands and carpet producers use ECONYL® regenerated nylon to create brand new products. And that nylon has the potential to be recycled infinitely, without ever losing its quality. The goal is that once all products containing ECONYL® are no longer useful to customers, they can go back into step one of the Regeneration System.
Regenerated Nylon
Our appetite to create new products and buy new products is infinite. The planet's resources aren't. But it's okay because we can have both: new products and a better environment.
Nylon waste from landfills and oceans around the world is transformed into ECONYL® regenerated nylon. It's exactly the same as brand new nylon and can be recycled, recreated and remoulded again and again.
Recycled Nets
FAO and UNEP estimate that there are 640,000 tons of fishing nets in the ocean. These fishing nets, remain adrift for a substantial amount of time (500 years) and are responsible for the accidental capture of whales, turtles, birds and other marine animals.
The problem continues to get worse each year.
Reduce, Reimagine, Rescue the Planet
- 8 million tons of waste end up in our seas every single year.
- 640,000 tons of fishing nets are abandoned at the bottom of the ocean.
- For every 1,000 tons of ECONYL® materials used, we save 7,000 barrels of crude oil & 5,700 tons of CO2 eq. emissions.
- It reduces the global warming impact by 80% compared to materials made from oil.
- More than 15 millions tons of used textile waste is generated each year in the United States, and the amount has doubled over the last 20 years.
- An average American throws away approximately 80 pounds of used clothing per person per year.
Save Our Seas
In the effort to protect our oceans, the Save Our Seas Foundation funds and supports research, conservation and education projects worldwide, focusing primarily on charismatic threatened wildlife and their habitats.
