Re:Nylon

Prada has always used nylon as a main material. The brand's '84 debut of Pocone nylon in its bags and accessory line garnered an international acclaim. Miuccia Prada later expanded the collection with nylon dresses for her eponymous label and Linea Rossa (the nylon-heavy, ready-for-hypebeast line that Frank Ocean recently decked himself out in at the Met Gala). The Milan-based brand has reinvented its iconic nylon bags by turning them into sustainable re:Nylon fabrications. The new collection features six classic styles - one belt bag (pictured) as well as a shoulder bag (pictured) as well as bags for totes (pictured), duffle bag (pictured) and two backpacks - made of repurposed ECONYL fabrics that are made from recycled plastics and fishing nets.

The recycled material is the result of a collaboration with Aquafil the textile yarn manufacturer in Italy which produces Econyl fabric using recycled nylon waste. This fabric can be recycled many times without losing its quality. The Business of Fashion reports that the repurposed fabric is part of a larger plan to change the entire Prada portfolio from virgin nylon to Re:Nylon by 2021. In addition to the six new Re:Nylon bags, the collection also includes a pair shoes and boots made from repurposed ECONYL, as well as an assortment of clothing made from the same fabric.

Prada and National Geographic produced a series "What We Carry", a video series that highlights the revolutionary process used to create the Re:Nylon bags. The first video is a collaboration between Bonnie Wright, an environmentalist and Harry Potter actress, and National Geographic explorer Asher Jay visiting a carpet recycling plant in Arizona which transforms old nylon into repurposed ECONYL.

With the shift to re:Nylon, Prada is achieving its most significant reduction in the use of virgin nylon yet, resulting in the saving of 70,000 barrels of oil per year, The Business of Fashion reports. Moreover, the move will cut down on the company's carbon emissions by an estimated 57,000 tons. The label recently went fur-free on its clothing and accessories. This is the most recent sustainable initiative.

Recycled Nylon

Although it's better for the environment than nylon, recycled nylon still has its drawbacks. It's not biodegradable and can remain in oceans or landfills for decades before being broken down into smaller particles that could cause harm to wildlife. The fabric also sheds microplastics after washing. However, it requires 50 percent less energy to make as compared to regular nylon and is more durable than other bag materials like cotton or wool.

The fabric is made from an amalgamation of waste plastic and petroleum that is made from fossil fuels. This means that it doesn't require more natural resources and also the carbon emissions that result from the production of nylon that is virgin. It is also more manageable than other bag materials, as it doesn't need to be dyed or weaved. This makes it an excellent option for bags that are used often, such as yoga or online designer handbags gym equipment.

In addition to its environmental benefits in addition to its environmental benefits, recycled nylon is a more durable and more flexible fabric than cotton or polyester. It's also able stand up to many abuses, which makes it perfect for backpacks and other outdoor gear. It is light and is easily cut and stitched into the desired shape of the backpack. Nylon is a fantastic fabric for outdoor gear, as it is resistant to water and does not absorb smells.

If you are looking for a bag that is sustainable, make sure to look for the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification. This certification is a test for chemical residue, as in addition to social and environmental responsibility. This certification is a good indication of brands that are honest and accountable.

Patagonia, for example, has a variety of yoga equipment and backpacks that are made of recycled nylon, which is known as Econyl. The nylon is created in a closed loop system which uses 50 less energy than virgin nylon. Additionally, the brand supports organisations that work to save our planet.
