Reciclaje químico vs. mecánico: ¿cuál es la diferencia? No todo el #reciclaje es igual. El reciclaje mecánico consiste en fundir y remodelar los #residuos plásticos. Es un proceso ampliamente utilizado, pero presenta limitaciones: la calidad del material suele degradarse con el tiempo, y los contaminantes pueden afectar el resultado final. Eso significa menos ciclos de reciclaje y aplicaciones de menor calidad. El reciclaje químico, en cambio, actúa a nivel molecular. Descompone los residuos en sus componentes básicos, lo que permite regenerar los materiales como si fueran nuevos, sin pérdida de calidad. Este proceso hace posible un enfoque circular incluso para materiales difíciles de #reciclar mediante métodos mecánicos. Porque reciclar no es solo gestionar los residuos: es darles una segunda vida. #economíacircular

“AIDA Cruises has been the first cruise line to firmly believe in the R2R programme, opening the doors for Aquafil to this innovative project” Cristina Stefani talked with Laura Hyde about how Aquafil Group’s R2R initiative was embraced by Radici Marine | Exclusive Custom Carpet and AIDA Cruises for the recent refitting of AIDAdiva Read more: https://lnkd.in/e-hbHfEW #cruise #interiors #sustainability 

We can’t improve what we don’t measure. Even if we can’t see them, #microplastics are everywhere. In our oceans, our soil, our air—and yes, even in our bodies. They shed from textiles, packaging, and everyday products. They’re released during use, washing, and disposal. They can be inhaled. They can be ingested—by fish, birds, terrestrial animals, and humans. And they impact soil health, plant life—even climate change. Still, we rarely address where it all begins. For too long, the conversation has focused on what happens after. It’s time we look before—at how we design, source, and produce. To do that, we must track what truly matters: the #microplastic footprint of the products we create. That’s why, together with STIIMA-CNR Biella and UNI Ente Italiano di Normazione, Aquafil Group helped close a critical gap— supporting the development of the first international ISO standard to measure microplastic release in textiles. Because real change starts with awareness. And awareness begins when we choose to look closer. Discover how we made the invisible visible: https://lnkd.in/dXwYUcnC

Oggi vi presentiamo Nicole. Il suo lavoro la porta a confrontarsi con designer, product developer e ingegneri per capire insieme come il nostro nylon rigenerato ECONYL® possa trasformarsi in prodotti sempre più circolari. Ci racconta cosa le piace di più di ciò che fa ogni giorno, sempre alla ricerca di nuovi stimoli. Dietro a numeri, progetti e innovazione, ci sono le persone. Questa è #HumansOfAquafil: una serie che racconta chi siamo.

🌱 Designing Circular Futures ♻️ We are happy to share a new video about our collaboration with Eco-Schools Slovenia, Aquafil Group and AquafilSLO to engage students in circular design #education from the classroom. Through our partnership, we are able to help students creatively tell stories about #waste and the circular economy: ghost nets to recycled #fashion , old jeans to new possibilities. At the Faculty of Design, and the Secondary School of Commerce and Visual Merchandising, circularity becomes more than a concept; it is a tangible, engaging, and hopeful experience. ✨ Check out the video and see how circular design education is helping to develop changemakers of the future.

I was happy, so to speak, to see my quote featured in this article discussing "Champions of Change" in the maritime industry on Cruise & Ferry "Meaningful progress in circularity within maritime interiors will be achieved when circular design principles are fully embraced, and when the industry unites around a shared vision and collective responsibility. The success of closed-loop systems and circular initiatives is rooted in the power of collaboration. When all the players – cruise lines, suppliers, designers, architects, specifiers, and project managers – are actively involved from the outset and working together towards a common objective, then truly exceptional outcomes become possible." I believe that the transition towards a circular economydepends on our ability to collaborate and innovate together. It's a journey that requires everyone's commitment, from the design phase to material selection, right through to the product's end-of-life. At Aquafil Group, we are committed to driving this change and promoting sustainable solutions, like our regenerated ECONYL® brand® yarn, which transforms waste into new resources, and the R2R® initiative on carpet circularity. I'm proud to be part of the sustainable maritime interiors declaration community that is working to make ship interiors not only beautiful but also responsible and sustainable. Isn't it great?

🌿 Nell’ambito del programma #SustainableNetwork di Borsa Italiana, gruppo Euronext, si è tenuto il terzo appuntamento del ciclo dedicato ai piani di adattamento, resilienza e transizione. 📣 Dopo i saluti iniziali di Caterina Crociata, Adriana Cruz Félix ha illustrato gli scenari, i rischi fisici e il ruolo della finanza nell’accelerare i processi di adattamento.   👉 La tavola rotonda moderata da Filippo Gambardella, ha visto Emilio Pastore e Dario Mangilli confrontarsi su strategie concrete di adattamento e resilienza, tra gestione del rischio e opportunità di investimento.   🎙️ Nella fireside chat, Giulio Bonazzi in dialogo con Patrizia Celia, ha evidenziato come l’innovazione e la circolarità possano abilitare la transizione e guidare la crescita attraverso filiere sostenibili.   🗣️ Il panel guidato da Massimo Catizone ha messo a confronto visioni e strategie di lungo termine. L’intervento di Jens Klint Hansen si è concentrato sul mix energetico del futuro, mentre Simone Benini ha evidenziato l’importanza del finanziamento dell’innovazione e la centralità del dialogo con il mercato per far comprendere la traiettoria di lungo periodo di una strategia sostenibile.

Microplastic pollution is one of the most pressing and least visible environmental issues of our time. Without a standardized way to measure #microplastic release, it’s nearly impossible for brands, manufacturers, or consumers to compare products or track progress. In collaboration with Biella STIIMA-CNR and UNI Ente Italiano di Normazione CT 046, we invested nearly five years into developing a standard testing methodology—now published as ISO 4484-2:2023. This methodology lays the foundation for better product design and smarter material choices. Incorporating the Microplastic Footprint into #ecodesign isn’t just smart—it’s essential. To build trust in circular models and protect ecosystems and public health, we must start upstream. Tiziano Battistini shares why microplastic measurement is the next evolution of #responsibleinnovation. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dY2XRzmA

En Aquafil Chile, no solo recolectamos #redesdepesca en desuso. También enfrentamos uno de los desafíos más complejos de su #reciclaje: los tratamientos #antifouling. Estos recubrimientos químicos, aplicados comúnmente para mantener limpias las redes en el mar, son una de las razones por las que muchas redes usadas se abandonan o terminan en vertederos. Pero nosotros lo vemos de otra forma. Gracias a nuestros procesos, trabajamos para recuperar, limpiar y preparar incluso las redes más difíciles—permitiéndoles renacer como algo nuevo. #economíacircular
