BASF and Inditex jointly make breakthrough in boosting recyclability in textile industry. BASF launched loopamid, a polyamide 6 (PA6, also known as nylon 6) made from 100% textile waste, while Zara, under Inditex, produced a jacket made from 100% loopamid, available worldwide.

Zara produced a jacket made from 100% loopamid, a circular nylon 6 material from BASF.

More about loopamid

Due to loopamid’s capability to tolerate all fabric mixture like PA6 and elastane, the cutting-edge technology behind loopamid allows textile-to-textile recycling of post-industrial and post-consumer textile waste.

The fibers and materials can be recycled over multiple times while the material characteristics are identical to those of conventional virgin polyamide.

Integrating loopamid into garment parts

Following a “design for recycling” approach, Inditex partnered with other leading groups in the clothing manufacturing industry to seamlessly integrate loopamid into various garment components, including fabrics, zippers, buttons, fillings, hook and loop fasteners, and sewing threads.

ModaRe, a take-back program operated by the charity organization Caritas, classified, sorted and provided discarded textile as feedstock.

Italian Company RadiciGroup worked in the process of transforming loopamid polymer into various types of yarn with different characteristics.

Multinational Japanese fastening products company YKK and multinational Velcro companies utilized loopamid polymer to create plastic components for zippers and snap buttons, and hook and loop fasteners.

Uniter from Spain, Tessitura Vignetta from Italy and Freudenberg and Gütermann from Germany develop other garment components, such as inner labels, filling materials and sewing threads, using loopamid.
