About Us

NylaNova was founded out of Northwestern University in 2019 by passionate researchers driven to tackle the global plastics crisis through chemistry innovation. Leveraging collective decades of polymer expertise, we custom-designed novel organic catalysts to chemically decompose nylon back into its fundamental building blocks. Our breakthrough solventless process closes the loop by re-polymerizing these monomers in a repeatable, value-preserving cycle that keeps existing plastic circulating as new materials.

Our next-generation chemical recycling technology unlocks unmatched performance and economics. We empower partners across industries to sustainably transform nylon waste that previously lacked circular solutions. By diverting plastic from landfills and incinerators, we protect our shared future on this planet – one infinitely recyclable product at a time.
