【Supercategory：6. Products Subcategory：6.9 New products of 2021】
Mitsubishi Chemical has developed a new nylon filament yarn. The product named KILAVIS RC is made by mixing nylon filament yarn KILAVIS, with nylon resin REAMIDE made from discarded fishing nets. The company expects that using wastes generated nationwide can promote upcycling and help reduce CO2 emissions. Also, colouring KILAVIS RC yarn before spinning can help with water drainage issues and reduce water and electricity usage. The company is ready to mass produce KILAVIS RC yarn for sale.
