Re:Nylon

It has always been a crucial material for Prada. The brand's debut in 1984 of Pocone nylon in its bag and accessory line earned the world's attention, and Miuccia Prada later expanded the collection with nylon dresses for her own label as well as Linea Rossa (the nylon-heavy, hypebeast-ready line that Frank Ocean recently decked himself out in at the Met Gala). The renowned Milan-based house has reimagined its iconic nylon bags by turning them into sustainable re:Nylon fabrications. The new collection features six classic styles: bags for belts (pictured) as well as shoulder bags (pictured), a tote bag (pictured), duffle bag (pictured), and two backpacks - made of recycled ECONYL fabrics that are made from recycled plastics and fishing nets.

The recycled material is the result of a collaboration with Aquafil the Italian textile yarn maker that produces Econyl fabric from recycled nylon waste. The fabric can be recycled many times without losing its quality. It's part of an overall plan to move from virgin nylon to re:Nylon across the entire Prada portfolio by 2021, The Business of Fashion reports. In addition to the six Re:Nylon bags, the line also includes a pair boots and shoes constructed from recycled ECONYL, as well as a range of apparel in the same fabric.

Prada and National Geographic produced a series "What We Carry", an online series that focuses on the unique method used to create Re:Nylon bags. The first video includes Bonnie Wright, an environmentalist and Harry Potter actress, as well as National Geographic explorer Asher Jay visiting a carpet recycling facility in Arizona that converts old nylon into recycled ECONYL.

The Business of Fashion reports that Prada's switch to re-Nylon is the biggest reduction in virgin nylon yet. It will save 70,000 barrels of crude oil each year. This move will also lower the carbon emissions of the company by about 57,000 tons. The label recently went fur-free on its clothes and accessories. This is the latest sustainable initiative.

Recycled Nylon

Although it's better for the environment than nylon, recycled nylon still has its drawbacks. It's not biodegradable. It will sit for decades in landfills or in the oceans until it breaks down into smaller particles which can cause harm to wildlife. The fabric is also non-breathable and may shed microplastics when washed. It consumes 50 percent less energy than regular virgin nylon, and is more durable.

The fabric is made of recycled petroleum and plastics, both of that is made from fossil fuels. This helps reduce the need for more natural resources as well as the carbon emissions resulting from the production of virgin nylon. It is also easier to handle than other bag materials because it doesn't have to be dyed and weaved. This makes it a good option for bags that will be used regularly, such as gym and yoga gear.

Recycled nylon is more durable and flexible than cotton or polyester which are both traditional fabrics. It's also able to stand up to the most severe abuse and makes it ideal for backpacks and other outdoor equipment. The material is also incredibly lightweight and is easily cut and stitched to form the ideal shape for bags. Nylon is a great material for outdoor gear because it's resistant to water and doesn't take on odors.

When choosing a bag that is sustainable, be sure to look for the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certification. This certification test chemical residues, aswell as environmental and social responsibility. This certification is a good indication of brands that are transparent and accountable.

Patagonia provides, for instance backpacks in a variety and yoga gear made from recycled nylon, referred to as Econyl. The nylon is made in a closed loop process which uses 50 percent less energy than virgin nylon. Moreover, the brand supports organizations working to save our planet.
