Today, many people are aware that even when they are dressing to impress the world, they must ensure that their dressing doesn't impact the environment. The textile waste recycling ensures that.
Common nylon recycle material:
•Post-industrial
•Fishing Net
•Buoy
Most mechanically recycled materials are melted at high temperatures and then made into a reusable form. Nylon melts at a much lower temperature, which means contaminants remain alive or otherwise unscathed.
For this reason, nylon must be thoroughly cleaned before being recycled. Good sources of clean, pure postconsumer nylon are difficult to find.
1. Post-industrial
|
The post-industrial recycling is a common practice and has been there for years. The post-industrial waste includes the by-products from textile like fibers, trimmings left on the cutting room floor in apparel and other textile product manufacturing facilities. |

2. Fishing Net
|
Waste fishing nets are made of nylon with the high value, and the recycling technology is the most mature. The recycling methods can be divided into physical and chemical recycling. •Single-material waste nylon fishing nets are melted and re-spinned for physical recovery.
•The chemical recovery: Through chemical processes such as cracking and fractionation is made into caprolactam (material for nylon 6), then pelletized and spinned.

3. Buoy
|
There are 6% fishing nets, 9% traps and 29% tackle, including buoys and other fishery wastes become residual marine pollutants due to discarding every year. Those wastes not only polluting the ocean environment , they also would cause harm to living creatures due to entanglement. Seriously affect the ecological environment. It’s not news that marine waste is recycled into fabrics. The buoys can also be recycled and reconstituted into nylon. Buoys can become nylon 6.6 particles again after cracking, fractionation, and polymerized. |
