Nylon 6,6 is a marvel of modern chemistry - strong, stretchy, heat resistant and durable. These qualities are indispensable across industries, from high-performance apparel to car engine components.
But that same strength comes at a cost:
Nylon 6,6 resists breakdown, and with no circular end-of-life solution, we face a global waste challenge.
Nylon 6,6 must evolve from a linear material born from oil to a fully circular one powered by recycling. Epoch has developed the technology that will enable this transition.

Forever Recycling
All feedstocks welcome
We accept nylon 6,6 from a wide range of mixed waste streams, regardless of form, colour, or composition. Hard plastics and textiles, coated and uncoated. Even multi-layer laminates and elastane blends are no match for our enzymes, which target and recover nylon 6,6 from any feedstock.
Biology, not brute force
Our process is powered by highly selective biological catalysts that operate at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. These unlock ultra-low energy usage, dramatically reducing production emissions, and creating a clear pathway to low-cost, scalable recycling.
Virgin-quality purity, drop-in compatibility
We produce textile-grade recycled nylon 6,6, suitable for the most demanding fibre applications. Because the polymer meets virgin-quality specifications, it can be processed as a drop-in replacement, preserving established relationships and without disruption to existing supply chains.
