Kingfa Sci. & Tech. secured a patent for "A Nylon Material and Its Preparation Method and Application" (focus: electromagnetic shielding and mechanical properties).
Lululemon signed a 10-year agreement with Samsara Eco to procure 20% of its recycled nylon and polyester fiber needs.
Yongrong Co. launched Phase I of its Vietnam project (annual capacity: 60,000 tons of nylon fiber).
Shenghong New Materials invested RMB 120 million in a high-end specialty nylon project (annual capacity: 20,000 tons; estimated annual output value: RMB 500 million).
4. Technological Advances
Fujian-based chemical fiber companies developed supercritical technology to extract nylon from waste textiles (certified by GRS).
Capacity and Project Construction
Yongrong Co.' Vietnam-based colorful nylon fiber project (Phase I: 60,000 tons/year) commenced in May 2025.
Shenghong New Materials' specialty nylon project (Sichuan) is 75% complete as of August 2025, with full operation expected by September 2025.
R&D and Innovation
Kingfa Sci. & Tech. patented a nylon material enhanced with chopped carbon fiber, conductive carbon black, and carbon nanotubes for improved electromagnetic shielding and mechanical performance.
Supercritical technology for recycling nylon from waste textiles achieved mass production (1,000-ton scale) in early 2025, attracting international brands.
Sustainability and Recycling
Recycled nylon market growth is driven by brands like Lululemon (targeting 100% sustainable materials by 2030).
Samsara Eco's enzymatic recycling process efficiently handles nylon 66 and blended fabrics with low energy consumption.
Recycling methods: Mechanical recycling and chemical recycling dominate the industry.
Challenges and Opportunities
Opportunities:
Growing demand for recycled nylon (global market projected to reach RMB 8.099 billion by 2030).
