Re:Nylon

Nylon has long been a major material for Prada. The brand's debut in 1984 of Pocone in its bag-and-accessory line was praised worldwide. Miuccia Prada expanded the collection to include nylon dresses for her own label as well as Linea Rossa, the nylon-heavy collection of a buzzbeast-ready, sexy diffusion that Frank Ocean recently dressed himself in at the Met Gala. Now the powerhouse Milan-based house has reinvented its iconic nylon bags by transforming them into sustainable re:Nylon fabric. The new collection includes six classic styles: bags for belts (pictured) as well as a shoulder bag (pictured), a tote bag (pictured), a duffle bag (pictured), and two backpacks made of repurposed ECONYL fabrics that are made from recycled plastics and fishing nets.

The material that is repurposed is a result of a partnership with Aquafil, an Italian textile yarn manufacturer which produces Econyl fabric from recycled nylon waste that can be recycled over and over again without losing its quality. It's part a larger initiative to shift from virgin nylon to re:Nylon across the entire Prada portfolio in 2021, The Business of Fashion reports. In addition to the six new Re:Nylon bags, the collection also includes a pair of shoes and boots made from repurposed ECONYL, as well as an assortment of clothing made from the same fabrication.

Prada bag Milano and National Geographic produced a series "What We Carry", a video series that highlights the revolutionary method used to create Re:Nylon bags. The first video features Harry Potter actress and environmentalist Bonnie Wright and National Geographic Explorer Asher Jay touring an Arizona carpet recycling facility which transforms old nylon into repurposed ECONYL.

The Business of Fashion reports that prada bags for sale's decision to re-Nylon is its biggest reduction in virgin nylon so far. It will save 70,000 barrels of crude oil each year. The move will also reduce the carbon emissions of the company by about 57,000 tonnes. The label recently went fur-free on its clothing and accessories. This is the most recent sustainable initiative.

Recycled nylon

Recycled nylon does not come without its disadvantages. It's not biodegradable and can remain in oceans or prada Bag milano landfills for decades before being broken down into smaller particles which can harm wildlife. The fabric is also non-breathable and is able to shed microplastics once washed. However, it requires 50% less energy to produce when compared to regular virgin nylon and is more durable than other bag materials such as wool or cotton.

The fabric is made of recycled petroleum and plastics, both of which comes from fossil fuels. This reduces the demand for more natural resources, as well as the carbon emissions that result from the production of virgin nylon. It is also less difficult than other bag materials to handle as it does not need to be dyed or weaved. This makes it a great option for bags that are going to be used frequently for gym or yoga gear.

Recycled nylon is stronger and more flexible than cotton or polyester that are both traditional fabrics. It's also able withstand the most severe abuse and is therefore ideal for backpacks and other outdoor gear. It is also extremely lightweight and prada Bag milano is easily formed and stitched into the ideal shape for bags. Nylon is a great material for outdoor gear as it is resistant to water and doesn't take on smells.

When you're choosing a bag that's sustainable be sure to look for the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification. This certification tests for chemical residue, as also social and environmental responsibility. This certification is an excellent indication of brands that are transparent and accountable.
