Material Dossier -- 2026

ECONYL®

Depolymerisation allows repeated recycling without degradation, a genuine advantage over mechanically recycled fibre, but the premium over virgin nylon is large and has held steady, so budget for it rather than waiting for it to close. Recycled content is not a bio-based claim.

Documented Constraints & Untested Conditions

The depolymerisation route allows repeated recycling without degradation, which is a real technical advantage over mechanically recycled fibres. The price premium over virgin nylon is significant and has been stable — budget for it rather than expecting it to close.

No independent test record on file. Material Primer has not bench-tested this product. The figures above are the supplier’s own published specification. Treat them as a starting point for your own testing, not as verified performance.

Verification Boundary -- What This Page Does Not Claim

This dossier compiles the supplier's published specification, the stated scope of certificates held, and referenced standards. It does not represent independent laboratory testing, production batch monitoring, or transaction data. Suitability judgements derive from the documents above, not from bench tests.
