MISSION

loopamid® is the recycled polyamide 6 entirely based on textile waste.

Millions of tons of textile waste* and counting. Valuable resources being dumped every year. This is a two-way disaster – environmental pollution as well as a waste of precious resources.

loopamid® turns the problem into a solution. The technology behind loopamid® turns textile waste into a valuable resource. loopamid® turns end-of-life textiles into new garments.

      TECHNOLOGY

      loopamid® is the first to close the loop for Nylon 6 entirely from textile waste. Over and over again. And again and again and again…


      No downcycling. True circularity. From end-of-life textiles to virgin-like materials.

      The technology behind loopamid® enables textile-to-textile recycling for polyamide 6 in a wide variety of fabric blends, including those with elastane.

      FEEDSTOCK

      Tapping into a new resource: textile waste


      Your beloved running jacket, your worn-out tights, the shirt that never fit well.

      They might have lost their fashion value. But they still have a lot of value for the textile industry. With loopamid®, we are converting textile waste into valuable feedstock.
