Goldwin, Toray, and Idemitsu build a low-carbon renewable nylon supply chain

Goldwin, Toray, and Idemitsu Kosan built a low-carbon nylon fiber supply chain using renewable raw materials. Applying the mass balance approach, they replaced fossil resource-derived materials with renewable ones, manufacturing nylon fiber using existing facilities. This aims to decarbonize the supply chain. The nylon fiber will be used in select 'THE NORTH FACE' products, releasing sequentially from early August 2026, with plans for expansion to other Goldwin brands. The nylon fiber has the same characteristics as conventional nylon 6, allowing for recovery and recycling after use. Neste Oyj supplies the bio-naphtha, while Mitsubishi Corporation manages the overall project.
