Portuguese fabric company makes move on more sustainable nylon
Specialist sports and activewear fabrics manufacturer Lemar has developed a new collection using Nilit’s Sensil By Nature nylon 6.6 fibres.
Nilit launched Sensil By Nature last year, presenting it as a yarn made from 55% biomass. This allows it to reduce its consumption of fossil fuel-based feedstocks and to achieve a carbon-footprint saving of 900 kilos of CO2-equivalent per tonne compared to standard nylon 6.6, while retaining the performance and appearance attributes of earlier versions of Sensil.
