Slovenia and the story of the new Prada Re-Nylon

The story behind the new Prada Re-Nylon sustainability initiative has been charted across the globe - uncovering the methods by which harmful and wasteful materials - plastic ocean waste, fishing nets, discarded textiles - are regenerated, revitalised. These raw materials are harnessed to produce eternally recyclable ECONYL®, the fiber by textile yarn producer Aquafil, which Prada used to create the Prada Re-Nylon collection, also the foundation of a new, entirely sustainable approach to fashion. 

Uncovering the complex and intriguing stories and examining the multiple countries and communities touched by the Re-Nylon project, Prada have collaborated with specialists from National Geographic to create an episodic branded content series exploring its roots - What We Carry. 

They also travelled to Slovenia, which they described as "a country which has latterly become a hub of a new regenerative and sustainable industry, with 40,000 tons of material recycled annually. It is also home of Aquafil’s production plant for ECONYL®, established in the city of Ljubljana." 

In the series, beautiful Slovenian landscape is also featured, showcasing the beauties of Bled and Ljubljana.
