Who We Are
Born at Northwestern University in 2019, we are chemists on a mission-pioneering solutions to eliminate nylon waste.
Our Mission
Driving true circularity for nylon through next-gen chemical recycling powered by our novel catalysts.
Our Approach
Leveraging bespoke catalyst innovation to make chemical recycling of mixed nylon waste-streams profitable.
What Makes Us Different?
NylaNova offers an elegant one-step chemical recycling solution for nylon waste. Our novel catalyst formulations unlock unmatched performance and economics to convert post-industrial and post-consumer nylon waste into virgin-quality caprolactam. We drive true circularity by empowering our partners across industries to cost-effectively recycle at scale while eliminating waste and reducing emissions.
Applications
Our breakthrough solventless chemical recycling technology enables infinite recycling across the nylon value chain. Take a look at results from our early feasibility studies.
Our Origin Story
Born out of Northwestern University in 2019, NylaNova is a pioneer in developing novel recycling solutions to combat the growing global plastics crisis. Our team of scientists leverage decades of research experience to design first-of-their-kind chemical catalysts that close the loop on nylon waste. Our first licensable process is focused on chemical recycling of mixed waste containing nylon with other processes under development.
of all plastics are landfilled and recycled
of all plastics are repurposed
are recycled to original use
Why We Exist
Driven by an urgent call to reduce plastic pollution, NylaNova aims to revolutionize recycling using the power of chemistry. We provide the missing link enabling true circularity for nylon, eliminating the concept of single-use plastic. Our technology enables economically advantageous recycling of mixed nylon waste streams.
