SENSIL® FLOW FOR A SUSTAINABLE FASHION INDUSTRY

Responsibly made premium Nylon 6.6 fibers that are born to last, SENSIL® Flow is crafted for outstanding performance in its first life and the many others that are now possible. Apparel and fabric recycling as part of a circular textile industry is now imaginable with SENSIL® Flow. Thoughtfully created fabrics and garments made with these special fibers can now easily reenter the textile production process for an extended circular lifecycle that reduces the environmental impact of the more than 90 million tons of apparel that are discarded each year.

Why SENSIL® Flow ?

Why
SENSIL® Flow ?

Circular economy can only happen if we can close the loop at product creation.

Mostly, Nylon is blended with other fibers in the final consumer product, which makes it very difficult to separate.

Fabrics with new SENSIL ® Flow yarns with built-in comfort-stretch are designed for circularity as they can be easily recycled at end of life

NILIT is the first Nylon 6.6 to conquer the space of circularity with SENSIL® Flow yarns.

SENSIL® Flow is not only a yarn. It’s an approach, an accelerator for the apparel industry to close the loop

    For optimal comfort stretch, we kindly request the following additional information:

    To ensure efficient recycling processes and maximize the environmental benefits of our circular approach, kindly indicate whether your mill or upstream supply chain partner can segregate all waste from fabrics manufactured by SENSIL®️ FLOW in a separate defined area for monocomponent recyclability:

    FAQ

    SENSIL® Flow, is a comprehensive approach for Nylon 6.6 circularity that facilitates yarn, fabric, and, ultimately, apparel recycling processes to eliminate waste and further reduce apparel’s environmental impact. SENSIL® Flow is an innovative approach that engages the entire supply chain to truly attain circularity through product design and partnership. NILIT goes circular through SENSIL® Flow, enabling products and partnerships for a circular economy.

    NILIT made a lot of research and investments to come up with a solution that addresses both the consumer needs for comfort stretch,  in line with Nylon 6.6 benefits, and at the same time could help minimize textile waste. SENSIL® Flow is a family of exclusive yarns that provide comfort stretch. This new premium Nylon 6.6 crafted by NILIT enables durable, exclusively mono-component fabrics to enhance garments with inherent comfort stretch, beautiful color absorption, and exquisite 3D effects while at the same time enabling post-consumer apparel recycling.

    Clothing made with SENSIL® Flow can loop back into the beginning of the textile production process. Recycled apparel reduces consumption of virgin raw materials, natural resource consumption, and the buildup of apparel waste in Earth’s ecosystems. The Flow is not only a yarn. It’s a comprehensive approach an accelerator for the apparel industry to close the Loop. This “system”, actually an ecosystem of enablers: NILIT, Mills, Brands, Retailers, and Recyclers. With SENSIL Flow, brands will be able to claim from day one circularity in their own supply chain – during the yarn manufacturing and during the fabric manufacturing, meeting regulations and allowing consumers to access a more sustainable fashion.

    Through SENSIL® Flow, Nylon 6.6 yarns, fabrics, and garments are going to be easily recycled using a process that requires no additional chemicals and generates minimal CO2 emissions. NILIT is assessing recycling partners to facilitate the efficient recovery and recycling of fabric waste and post-consumer fabrics and clothing that would otherwise end up in a landfill or incinerator. These partners are expected to create high quality recycled Nylon chips that can be reintroduced into NILIT’s Nylon fiber spinning process, resulting in high quality outputs, as well as other engineering plastics.
    SENSIL® Flow is great for mills that need to reduce textile waste in their process, and instead of incinerating and losing the product value, they can transform into a value added output that can be re-inserted in the textiles value chain again, creating a virtuous cycle. Mills can also enable their customers to meet regulations and sustainability goals, speeding up a circular economy in textiles.
    It allows consumers to have the same outstanding performance, longevity and comfort, but with reduced environmental impact through waste, as well as meeting regulations, requirements and sustainability goals. It will be a great opportunity to educate consumers and offer cash-back like solutions, inviting consumers to come back to the stores to return garments post-consumption and contribute to a circular economy.

    Garments that require comfort stretch are the perfect fit for SENSIL® Flow, like: casual and outdoor wear, jackets, pants, shirts, dresses, running and fitness t-shirts and others.
