Recycled Nylon Stretch Knit Fabric – Bi-Stretch

This stretch knit is manufactured by our partner textile mills from 81% recycled PA6 nylon and 19% elastane. The listed specification includes a wicking finish, bi-stretch and a fabric weight of 195 g/m². It is a candidate for activewear, performance apparel and stretch trousers. The recycled-content statement applies to the nylon component, not to the elastane.

Ocean Material helps match stretch, construction and fabric weight to your application and coordinates the inquiry with the partner mill. We work towards the highest feasible use of certified Ocean Material yarn within the selected blend, with the actual yarns and certification scope agreed for the project.

Send us your application, material requirements, preferred construction, required quantity and delivery destination so we can develop the inquiry with the appropriate textile mill.

Specifications

81% recycled PA6 nylon / 19% elastane; bi-stretch knit; wicking finish; 195 g/m². The elastane is not described as recycled. Width, finishing and detailed construction are agreed for the selected fabric.

Technical data sheets, detailed specifications and supporting documentation are available on request.

Applications

It is a candidate for activewear, performance apparel and stretch trousers. Application-specific performance and finishing are confirmed through fabric evaluation, not assumed from recycled content.

Origin

Countries of origin: China, Taiwan. This fabric listing belongs to the Ocean-Bound Plastic material stream. The actual yarn source, recycled share and certification scope are confirmed for the selected fabric and its components.

Ocean-bound plastic is discarded plastic at risk of entering the ocean, for example where collection and waste management are inadequate. This classification does not mean that the material was recovered directly from the sea.

Sustainability & Impact

Using recovered ocean-bound feedstock returns discarded plastic to material applications. The useful substitution of virgin material depends on the selected grade and finished-product requirements. Environmental outcomes also depend on collection, preparation, processing and transport; no quantified carbon saving is implied.

Quality & Traceability

Ocean Material helps align yarn selection, fabric construction and finishing with the project specification. Recycled-content claims apply only to the documented components. Sample evaluation and supporting records establish the scope for the selected fabric; a yarn certificate does not automatically cover every fabric component.

Source Certification: Source Certified. Supporting origin documentation is reviewed for the selected material and supply.

Existing certification records list Global Recycling Standard. The applicable certificate, covered material and supply scope must be checked for the selected order; this is not blanket coverage for every grade or origin.

Compliance: REACH information is available on request for review against the intended material and market. REACH is a regulatory framework, not a product certificate.

Carbon Footprint & LCA

Life cycle assessments (LCAs) are available for selected materials and production sites within our partner network. Availability and scope vary by material grade, production location and supply chain.

What is ocean-bound plastic?

Ocean-bound plastic is discarded plastic at risk of entering the ocean, for example where collection and waste management are inadequate. This classification does not mean that the material was recovered directly from the sea.

Is this material recovered directly from the ocean?

Ocean-bound describes material at risk of entering the ocean. It does not on its own mean recovery from the sea. The documented origin is checked for the selected supply.
