Aquafil is a company with 16 plants around the world and 4 in the US. We produce synthetic fibers for fashion and interiors. This talk will be about Aquafil's main product, ECONYL®, a regenerated nylon that instead of coming from oil, comes 100% from waste materials, Aquafil's use in design and fashion, and the challenges of making the system circular and working with waste as a source material.
