SENSIL Flow
NILIT, a leading producer of high-quality Nylon 6.6 for apparel, unveils SENSIL® Flow, a novel approach to circularity in Nylon 6.6. This innovation aims to promote yarn, fabric, and apparel recycling, reducing waste and lessening the environmental impact of clothing production. SENSIL® Flow is not only a sustainable product but also a holistic approach to achieving circularity through collaboration across the supply chain.
Ilan Melamed, General Manager of NILIT, emphasizes the need for a mindset shift throughout the textile industry to achieve sustainability goals. SENSIL® Flow offers a fresh perspective, enabling recycling at various stages of production and fostering partnerships for circularity.
According to Michelle Lea, Chief Marketing and Sustainability Officer at NILIT, a significant amount of apparel ends up in landfills annually, with only a small portion being reused or recycled. SENSIL® Flow aims to minimize waste throughout the production process, allowing brands to design longer-lasting apparel that can be easily recycled at the end of its lifecycle.
Current apparel recycling methods face challenges in sorting and separating materials, particularly garments made with blended fibers. SENSIL® Flow addresses these obstacles by offering mono-component fabrics that can be recycled without additional chemicals or significant CO2 emissions.
NILIT collaborates with recycling experts to recover and recycle fabric waste and post-consumer clothing efficiently. These partnerships ensure the production of high-quality recycled Nylon chips, which can be reintegrated into NILIT’s Nylon fiber spinning process, promoting circularity in the textile industry. Certifications will provide transparency and accountability for partners committed to building a circular economy.
