About Prada Re-Nylon




Prada Re-Nylon was first launched in 2019 and is created through the “recycling of plastic waste collected from oceans and textile fibre waste,” shared adidas. It can be purified and recycled indefinitely as well. In a bid to become more environmentally conscious, Prada was also able to shift its entire production from virgin nylon to Re-Nylon before the end of last year.
