Nylon recycling start-up Syntetica secures €4.2m funding

PARIS – French nylon recycling start-up Syntetica has raised €4.2m in seed funding. The company will use the money to expand its team, and begin producing the first recycled nylon materials for fashion and automotive clients. Syntetica is targeting reaching a pre-industrial stage by mid-2026.

Syntetica’s depolymerisation technique separates materials fibres so they can be rerouted back into clothing manufacturing in what it claims is a cost-effective, low-carbon feedback loop.
