Chemical recycler NylaNova to supply ‘green’ caprolactam to nylon 6 producer Nylene, creating a route for mixed post-consumer nylon waste

Illinois - Chemical recycling company NylaNova is partnering with nylon 6 producer Nylene to supply caprolactam recovered from post-consumer nylon 6 waste, adding a recycled feedstock source to Nylene’s existing nylon 6 production.

Caprolactam is the principal monomer used to manufacture nylon-6. The material is used in hosiery, apparel, carpet and industrial applications, and NylaNova estimates that about 2.75 million tonnes of nylon 6 are discarded worldwide each year.
