EC is committed to achieving a high level of environmental care while undertaking our business operations and aims for continuous improvement of issues relating to sustainability and environmental management.
This is not simply a tick-box exercise for us. At EC we have transformed our operations, our products and our policies to ensure that sustainability is a key driver for our entire organisation.
We are committed to minimising our environmental impact through the active monitoring and management of our gas, electricity, and water usage. In addition, we systematically track our waste output, with a strong focus on landfill diversion and recycling initiatives. These ongoing efforts support our goal of improving operational efficiency while enhancing our overall environmental performance.
Becoming a truly sustainable business is a long road, but we’re certainly on it. While we are a company with a strong heritage, we have no interest in living in the past.
The regeneration process consist of 4 steps:
Step 1 – Rescue: The Econyl® Regeneration system starts with rescuing waste, like fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpet flooring and industrial plastic from all over the world. That waste is then sorted and cleaned to recover all of the nylon possible.
Step 2 – Regenerate: Through a radical regeneration and purification process, the nylon waste is recycle right back to its original building blocks, through a depolymerization process, that allows polymers to come back to monomers. This means that Econyl® regenerated nylon is exactly the same as virgin nylon, with the same purity and features.
Step 3 – Remake: Econyl® regenerated nylon is processed into polymers and yarn for carpet and textile for the fashion and interiors industries.
Step 4 – Reimagine: This step is where EC Carpets comes into play. Using Econyl® regenerated nylon to produced beautiful, comfortable and sustainable carpets.
