Syntetica
Syntetica is a materials company developing green-chemistry recycling technologies to convert mixed plastic waste into high-quality raw materials. Its focus is nylon, widely used in sportswear, lingerie, outdoor gear and automotive components. Most nylon textiles contain blends of nylon 6, nylon 6.6 and elastane, making them difficult to recycle mechanically or chemically. Less than 1% of textile waste becomes new fibres [Textile Exchange, 2024]. Nylon is petroleum-derived with a high carbon footprint, and elastane blends make recovery even harder. Syntetica addresses this with a low-temperature recycling process using proprietary green chemistry. It breaks down mixed nylon and elastane waste to molecular components and rebuilds them into regenerated nylon 6 and nylon 6.6. These materials match virgin nylon mechanically and aesthetically while cutting carbon emissions by up to 80% [Quantis, 2025]. The process also recovers value from elastane and blended materials usually considered unrecyclable, supporting circular textile systems. The regenerated nylon functions as a drop-in replacement compatible with existing manufacturing, allowing adoption without any equipment changes. It can be recycled repeatedly, improving resource efficiency and reducing petroleum dependence. Syntetica materials suit apparel, sportswear, underwear, outdoor textiles and industrial plastics. Based in Paris, it works with Uniqlo, Lycra, Victoria’s Secret and ETAM. With over USD 25 million raised, it is preparing a commercial demonstration facility in France to scale circular, low-carbon plastics.
