Re:Nylon
Nylon has long been a major material for Prada. The brand's debut in 1984 of Pocone nylon in its bag and accessory line garnered the world's attention, and Miuccia Prada later expanded the collection with nylon dresses for her own label and Linea Rossa (the nylon-heavy, hypebeast-ready line that Frank Ocean recently decked himself out in at the Met Gala). The Milan-based brand has reimagined its iconic nylon bags by transforming them into eco-friendly re:Nylon fabrics. The new collection features six classic styles - one belt bag (pictured), a shoulder bag (pictured) and a tote bag (pictured) and duffle bag (pictured), and two backpacks - in recycled ECONYL fabrics that are made from recycled plastics and fishing nets.
The repurposed material is a result of a partnership with Aquafil, an Italian textile yarn producer which produces Econyl fabric using regenerated nylon waste, which can be reused repeatedly without losing its quality. The Business of Fashion reports that the repurposed fabric is part of a larger plan to shift Prada's entire collection from virgin nylon to Re:Nylon by 2021. The collection includes six new Re:Nylon handbags and a pair of ECONYL shoes and boots and a selection of clothing made of the same material.
To celebrate the launch, Prada partnered with National Geographic to create a series of videos called "What We Carry" that exposes the cutting-edge technology which is used to make its Re:Nylon bags. The first video features Harry Potter actress and environmentalist Bonnie Wright and National Geographic Explorer Asher Jay touring an Arizona carpet recycling facility that turns old nylon into recycled ECONYL.
With the shift to re:Nylon Prada is achieving its most significant reduction in the use of virgin nylon to date, resulting in the reduction of the company 70,000 barrels of oil each year, The Business of Fashion reports. The move will also reduce the company's carbon emissions by approximately 57,000 tons. It's the latest sustainability initiative by the label, which just went fur-free in its clothes and accessories, a move that was lauded by environmentalists and animal rights activists alike.
Recycled Nylon
Recycled nylon has its drawbacks. It's not biodegradable and will remain in landfills or in the oceans until it is broken into smaller particles which can endanger wildlife. The fabric is also not breathable and is able to shed microplastics once washed. It uses 50 percent less energy than normal virgin nylon, and is more durable.
The fabric is made of the waste plastic and petroleum, which is produced from fossil fuels. This means that it doesn't require more natural resources as well as carbon emissions resulting from the production of nylon that is virgin. It is also much easier than other bags to handle because it doesn't have to be dyed or weaved. This makes it a great choice for bags that will be used often, such as gym and yoga gear.
In addition to its environmental benefits in addition to its environmental benefits, recycled nylon is a stronger and more flexible material than conventional cotton or polyester. It is also able to withstand the most severe abuse which makes it ideal for backpacks and outdoor gear.

Patagonia is a good example. It offers a range of yoga equipment and backpacks made of recycled nylon, which is known as Econyl.
