About Aquafil
Aquafil is a pioneering company in the field of sustainable materials, specializing in the production of Nylon 6 fibers through innovative recycling processes. The company operates primarily in the fashion and flooring industries, serving clients who prioritize sustainability and circular economy practices. Aquafil's business model revolves around sourcing discarded materials, particularly carpets, and transforming them into high-quality Nylon 6 yarn.
