Revolutionary Sensil® Bynature Nylon 6.6 earns ISCC+ certification to help apparel brands and retailers reduce carbon footprint

NILIT, a global leader in premium Nylon 6.6 for apparel, has earned the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification Plus system (ISCC+) accreditation for its primary SENSIL® ByNature facility in Israel. ISCC+ accreditation for NILIT’s other facilities around the world will follow soon.

The ISCC+ system is a globally applicable, independent sustainability certification program that confirms the controlled use of renewable feedstocks throughout a supply chain. The ISCC+ system verifies the origin of the renewable feedstocks in SENSIL® ByNature, the new sustainable Nylon 6.6 with lower environmental impact that offers brands and retailers a high-quality foundation for more ecologically responsive apparel designs. “The ISCC+ system accreditation for SENSIL® ByNature is an important achievement in NILIT’s mission to enable a more sustainable apparel industry,” says Ilan Melamed, NILIT General Manager. “The ISCC+ certification independently validates the substantial environmental benefits of SENSIL® ByNature so that apparel brands and retailers can incorporate these sustainable premium performance fabrics into their collections with complete confidence.”

Launched in April 2022, SENSIL® ByNature is the first Nylon 6.6 for apparel made by replacing a portion of the yarn’s raw materials derived from fossil fuel with renewable biogas feedstock. With the bio-gas substitution, SENSIL® ByNature decreases the consumption of scarce fossil feedstocks as well as reduces the associated greenhouse gases that threaten the atmosphere.

SENSIL® ByNature gives apparel brands and retailers a verifiable tool for creating high-quality apparel with all the performance benefits of Nylon 6.6 but with reduced environmental impact and improved Life Cycle Analysis, something today’s conscious consumers value. SENSIL® ByNature is just the latest sustainable innovation that NILIT has created for the apparel market.
