en.Wedoany.com Reported - Goldwin, Neste, Idemitsu Kosan, and Toray Industries have jointly developed a supply chain for producing nylon fiber from renewable raw materials. The related nylon fiber is planned to be used by Goldwin in some The North Face products starting August 2026.

Neste supplies Neste RE renewable raw materials, which can be used to produce high-performance renewable nylon fiber, thereby reducing dependence on fossil raw materials. Compared with traditional fossil raw materials, using pure Neste RE can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from raw materials by more than 85%. Biobased plastics made from Neste RE are identical in quality to plastics made from virgin fossil raw materials and can be directly used in the same applications and products.

Maiju Helin, Director of Polymers and Chemicals at Neste, stated that renewable materials made from Neste RE meet the performance standards of global brands such as The North Face, operated by Goldwin. The collaboration with Goldwin, Idemitsu Kosan, and Toray demonstrates that the fashion industry's reliance on fossil resources can also be reduced in high-performance product areas. It showcases how our ready-to-use solutions can rapidly transform complex value chains, helping brands achieve their climate goals.

Neste RE can directly replace fossil-based raw materials such as naphtha without requiring changes to existing manufacturing facilities or processes for polymers and chemicals. During the supply chain construction, participating companies utilized existing facilities and adopted a mass balance approach. Mitsubishi Corporation coordinated the participating companies to establish this supply chain for renewable nylon fiber in Goldwin products. This collaboration marks Neste's second supply chain partnership for The North Face products, following a similar project in July 2024.
