Recycled Nylon Spandex Fabric
-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --
Recycled nylon spandex fabric is a high-stretch performance knit made from post-consumer or post-industrial recycled nylon combined with spandex, offering excellent elasticity, durability, and a reduced environmental footprint. It is widely used in swimwear, activewear, yoga apparel, and compression garments.
Introduction
Recycled nylon spandex fabric is produced by combining recycled nylon yarn — sourced from post-consumer waste such as discarded fishing nets, nylon fabric offcuts, or industrial nylon waste — with elastane (spandex) to create a high-performance stretch knit. The recycled nylon component offers comparable mechanical properties to virgin nylon while reducing the demand for new petrochemical inputs.
The fabric delivers four-way stretch, strong recovery, and resistance to chlorine and UV exposure, making it particularly well suited to swimwear and active end uses. It is available with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification, supporting brands that require verified compliance with restricted substance standards.
Nantong Tianhong Textile Technology Co., Ltd. offers recycled nylon spandex in a range of compositions, weights, and knit constructions. Our R&D team can develop custom colorways and finishes to meet the specific requirements of performance apparel and swimwear brands operating in global markets.
