NILIT Ltd. is a privately owned international manufacturer of nylon 6.6 (polyamide) fibers specializing in polymerization, spinning, and texturing of nylon 6.6 yarns for textile applications. NILIT has released its sustainability report titled “Making Nylon Sustainable” for 2017-2020. The report highlights NILIT’s accomplishments and its ongoing plans to continuously improve the ecological and social influence of its operations and practices in the market and in the communities where the company operates.
NILIT is developing technologies for mechanical recycling to provide recycled yarn from post-consumer nylon waste. The circular economy can only happen if we can close the loop of product creation. To do so, actual apparel products need to be recycled into new products. However, this is not an easy task, and much research is still needed. Mostly, nylon is blended with other fibers in the final consumer product, which makes it very difficult to separate. There are currently no ready-made solutions for the collection and recycling of nylon apparel products. However, NILIT is continuously researching this area and will offer this recycling option as soon as possible. The benefits of recycled nylon apparel products are lower energy consumption, lower water usage, fewer chemicals, no waste.
NILIT is fully committed to the continuous efforts to improve sustainability within our company, the communities where we operate, and the markets we serve. The company focuses our talents on cultivating innovative operations, responsible product development, and collaborative relationships that make the world safer and cleaner for us all and the generations that will follow us. Next to adherence to sound manufacturing processes and strict environmental protection programs, NILIT also supports corporate responsibility programs, such as volunteer projects in the community and scholarships for local youth.
