Syntetica has developed a chemical recycling process for synthetic textiles starting with nylon. From textile waste (pre- and post-consumer), Syntetica breaks down the fibres to return them to nylon monomers.
The company uses green chemistry to transform complex textile waste into new, virgin-quality recycled raw materials.
Faced with a worrying fact — less than 1% of textiles are currently recycled into new fibres — Syntecica has developed a proprietary depolymerization process capable of treating nylon-rich textiles, including complex blends containing elastane, polyester, or cotton. This technology makes it possible to separate the different materials and produce nylon 6 and nylon 6,6 monomers that can be reused in new applications.
Syntecica’s approach aims to reduce the textile industry’s dependence on fossil resources; and foster the emergence of a circular, low-carbon textile sector. Its solutions specifically target the fashion, automotive, and technical textiles sectors.
The company was founded by Marco Bertone and Louis Monsigny, combining textile expertise with know-how in polymer chemistry. Supported by those working on innovation, Syntecica is now accelerating the industrialization of its technology. It already works with several major international brands.
Its long-term ambition: to enable the infinite recycling of synthetic fibres. Thus, contributing to the decarbonization of the entire textile industry.
