Aquafil USA Econyl

Econyl is a new sustainable polymer used in the Alto Chroma carpet-fiber line from Aquafil USA. Made from almost 100% recycled content—a minimum of 25% of which is post-consumer waste from sources such as discarded fishing nets—the polymer can be recycled into more Econyl at the end of its life. Alto Chroma matches the performance, color retention, and stain resistance of other fibers on the market and is being used by Interface and other carpet manufacturers. • aquafilusa.com
