Around\u00a04 million tons of nylon 6,6\u00a0(a type of synthetic polyamide) are produced annually, making it one of the most commonly used fibers in the apparel and automotive sectors, as well as for netting in fishing and agriculture. Its widespread use is due in part to its long durability, heat resistance and high tensile strength in performance applications. However, it is typically very hard to recycle, and its blending with fibers like spandex, polyester and cotton further complicates the process. Recycling rates for polyamides are estimated to hover around 5% or less, with most nylon materials ultimately ending up in landfills or incineration processes.<\/p>\n

Typical mechanical recycling can only handle nylon waste that is extremely pure, and\u00a0chemical recycling\u00a0or\u00a0depolymerization\u00a0technologies often cannot fully break down nylon products, resulting in a difficult-to-process mixture of oligomers. In recent months, a number of companies have announced milestones in various nylon-recycling methods, which are summarized in this article.<\/p>\n
