It all starts with...
sustainability.
ALL NYLON IS NOT CREATED EQUALLY.
Imagine recycled nylon as good as the original. AdvanSix already did. Across industries and applications, our post-industrial and post-consumer recycled Aegis® nylon material can help you bridge the technology gaps existing still today for net-zero plastics. Let’s take the journey towards a more sustainable future together.

Recycled nylon as good as new.
AdvanSix post-industrial recycled (PIR) and post-consumer recycled (PCR) grades Aegis® resins and PIR Caprolactam use certified 100% recycled content to produce nylon products that are every bit as processable, formable, and durable as virgin nylon of the same grades.

CONSUMER GOODS
AdvanSix products help create the consumer goods we use every day. With our recycled Aegis® PIR/PCR nylon resin you don’t have to compromise performance or processibility. As drop-in replacements for their conventional virgin nylon counterpart grades, such products have the same physical and mechanical properties with no costly re-qualifications or expensive process and equipment changes needed.
ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONICS
Wires and cables help power the world. Aegis® nylon jacket compounds, also available in grades containing 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) or 100% post-industrial recycled (PIR) nylon 6, protect wires and cables from physical and chemical damage during installation and throughout their service life.
FOOD & NUTRITION
AdvanSix PIR and PCR nylon 6 products offer the same excellent physical and mechanical properties as their conventional counterpart virgin nylon 6 products. As such, they, just like their virgin grade counterparts, can meet the exact requirements of convertors, brand owners and consumers for packaging that are compliant with food and medical packaging standards.
