Syntetica utilizes green chemistry and chemical depolymerization to create sustainable synthetic textiles, starting with nylon. Their process effectively separates raw materials from blended nylon textile waste, a capability traditional recycling methods lack. This technology enables the full circularity of Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6 streams for industrial use.

Problem
The textile industry struggles to recycle blended nylon fabrics, leading to significant landfill waste because traditional recycling methods cannot effectively separate the raw materials in these blends. Less than 1% of the global textile market uses recycled fibers due to this limitation.
Solution
Syntetica employs a chemical depolymerization process to recycle both Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6 from blended textile waste, converting them into reusable materials. This process enables the recycling of diverse nylon textile waste streams, addressing a major bottleneck in textile recycling. By breaking down nylon polymers into their constituent monomers, Syntetica provides a solution for reclaiming valuable resources from materials that would otherwise be discarded. This approach facilitates a closed-loop system for nylon, reducing reliance on virgin materials and minimizing environmental impact.
Target Audience
Syntetica's primary customers are textile manufacturers, apparel brands, and recycling companies seeking sustainable sourcing options and waste reduction solutions.
