Enviromental Products

NATIQ has been attracting a lot of attention lately from consumers and professionals who are looking for ways to reduce the environmental impact of the products they buy and use. More and more of us, whether design professionals, corporations, or end users, are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of protecting the environment and are changing our habits: we're reducing waste and energy use in our homes and businesses, switching to recycled and/or renewable products and processes, and actively seeking out products that are environmentally sustainable. At Nylene Canada, we developed the NATIQ ENVIRO brand with these principles in mind.

The NATIQ ENVIRO brand fiber is 100% recyclable and is manufactured with recycled nylon 6 fiber content as well as other recycled post-consumer nylon 6 products.

The beautiful, tough performer that's gentle to the environment
For environmentally-conscious consumers, NATIQ ENVIROHOME provides all of the styling and performance characteristics of NATIQ HOME, with recycled nylon content.
Natural intelligence for sustainability
NATIQ ENVIROWORK is designed to help meet the specification requirements of high-performance, sustainable buildings. NATIQ ENVIROWORK combines all the outstanding design and performance qualities of NATIQ WORK, with 30% recycled nylon 6 content.
Natural intelligence for urban style
Presently in development, NATIQ CONDO is engineered to meet the increasingly important demand for environmentally responsible materials in new condominium construction; NATIQ CONDO combines the design versatility of NATIQ HOME with the rugged durability of NATIQ WORK. NATIQ CONDO provides the style and performance you demand today, with a commitment to sustainability for tomorrow.

Nylene Canada cares deeply about the impact its products have on the environment. Our Arnprior facility operates the only depolymerization process in North America for the recycling of nylon 6, offering true, "closed-loop" fiber-to-fiber recycling for carpets. NATIQ carpeting fiber can easily be broken down, or depolymerized, into its chemical "precursor", caprolactam, and then reprocessed into new NATIQ nylon, over and over again, without any loss of properties or quality. This helps reduce the amount of waste going to landfills, and minimizes the negative impact on our environment.

Beautiful style, guaranteed performance, comfort and environmental sustainability: NATIQ ENVIRO products represent the next stage in fiber development.
