Known Limits & Failure Modes

Feedstock is usually a mix of fishing nets, carpet fluff and industrial waste. Chemical regeneration can allow repeated recycling without quality loss; mechanically recycled grades should not be assumed to share this, so ask which route was used. Price premium over virgin nylon is significant and stable — budget for it rather than expecting it to fall.
