Why Your Swimwear Needs a Fabric Revolution
The swimwear industry, like the broader fashion sector, faces significant environmental challenges. Every year, millions of bikinis, swimsuits, and beachwear garments end up in landfills, where they can take centuries to decompose. Add to that the microplastics shed during washing, and the oceans face an even bigger pollution threat.
1- Understanding Polyamide 6.6: A Simple Guide for Everyone
Before diving into why Amni Soul Eco® is perfect for your eco-friendly swimwear, let’s break down what polyamide 6.6 is.
1.1 The Strength and Versatility of Polyamide
Polyamide 6.6 — often called nylon — is a synthetic fiber prized for its strength, elasticity, and softness. In swimwear, it provides:
– Shape Retention for a flattering fit
– Quick Drying after a dip in the ocean or pool
– Comfort against the skin
– Resistance to stretching and wrinkles
2- The Environmental Drawback of Traditional Polyamide
The problem? Traditional polyamide swimwear — and even recycled versions, such as Carvico’s ECONYL — can persist in the environment for centuries. In an industry that produces millions of pieces each season, this long-lasting footprint becomes a serious environmental concern.
3- The Birth of Amni Soul Eco®
3.1 Rhodia’s Sustainability Mission
Rhodia has long been committed to sustainable innovation. Recognizing that low-carbon and biodegradable swimwear materials could transform the market, the company invested in advanced textile research.
3.2 From Science to Style
The result was Amni Soul Eco®, the world’s first biodegradable polyamide
4- World’s First Biodegradable Polyamide for Sustainable Swimwear
4.1 Accelerated Biodegradation Explained
In landfill conditions, Amni Soul Eco® biodegrades in 3–5 years; in marine environments, it takes about 10 years. This is up to 20 times faster than traditional synthetic fibers, making it ideal for biodegradable swimwear fabric.
4.2 Tackling the Microplastic Problem
For swimwear brands, microplastics are a hidden enemy. Amni Soul Eco®’s formula ensures that any particles shed in washing break down much faster, helping to protect marine life.
4.3 Certified Safety and Quality
Amni Soul Eco® is Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, Class 1 certified — safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin often exposed in swimwear.
5- Advantage: Sustainable Production in Brazil
5.1 Shorter Supply Chain, Lower Carbon Footprint
Produced in Paulínia and Santo André in Brazil, Amni Soul Eco® reaches swimwear manufacturers with fewer transportation miles, lowering its carbon footprint.
5.2 Raw Material Produced in Paulínia, Rhodia’s Green Site
Amni® is already born, committed to the future of the planet. In Paulínia, where raw materials used in the production of textile yarns and fibers are manufactured, the company has achieved a 96% neutralization of its CO2 emissions, thanks to a series of initiatives and the installation of a greenhouse gas abatement unit, which removes a total of 5.3 million tons of CO2 equivalent from the atmosphere annually—the equivalent of taking an annual fleet of 1.3 million vehicles off the road. The company’s goal is to achieve 100% CO2 neutralization by 2025. The Paulínia plant was also the first company in the chemical/textile sector in the country to achieve the Wildlife Habitat Council’s Gold Certification for biodiversity, a renowned international organization focused on biodiversity conservation practices in the private sector.
5.3 Responsible Production in Santo André
In Santo André, the company’s textile base, industrial facilities operate through closed-loop systems, where there is no water waste or effluent emissions outside the factory. Effluents are treated and recovered in special units for this operation. The company only purchases drinking water from the public supply to meet the needs of its employees, collaborators, and for the activities of the unit’s cafeteria.
Over the years, Rhodia has also adopted other initiatives to enhance sustainability in Santo André. One of them was the installation of a chemical recycling unit for ‘production leftovers’ of textile polymers, which are recovered and returned to manufacturing lines to become new products.

FAQ – Sustainable Swimwear with Amni Soul Eco
What makes Amni Soul Eco® the best fabric for sustainable swimwear?
Amni Soul Eco® is a groundbreaking biodegradable polyamide 6.6 fiber developed in Brazil, designed specifically for sustainable swimwear. Unlike traditional nylons, which can take hundreds of years to degrade, Amni Soul Eco® biodegrades naturally within a controlled environment, significantly reducing microplastic pollution and environmental impact. Its advanced polymer technology maintains all the high-performance qualities swimwear demands—strength, elasticity, and colorfastness—making it the top choice for eco-conscious consumers.
How does Amni Soul Eco® compare to other sustainable swimwear fabrics?
While other sustainable fabrics such as ECONYL® (regenerated nylon) and recycled polyester reduce waste by reusing materials, they are not biodegradable and can persist in the environment for decades. Amni Soul Eco® surpasses these by combining recyclability with true biodegradability, ensuring the fabric breaks down into natural elements without leaving harmful residues. This dual benefit makes Amni Soul Eco® uniquely suited for truly sustainable swimwear.
What are the key technical properties of Amni Soul Eco® that benefit sustainable swimwear?
Biodegradability: Certified to biodegrade under industrial composting conditions in a fraction of the time compared to conventional nylon; Durability: High tensile strength and abrasion resistance ensure long-lasting swimwear; Elastic Recovery: Superior stretch and recovery allow for comfortable, form-fitting designs that maintain shape after wear; UV and Chlorine Resistance: Enhanced resistance to fading and degradation from sun exposure and pool chemicals; Soft; Handfeel: Smooth texture ensures comfort against the skin, essential for swimwear performance.
Is Amni Soul Eco® swimwear safe and comfortable?
Yes. Amni Soul Eco® fibers undergo strict quality control and meet OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certifications, guaranteeing they are free from harmful substances. This ensures that sustainable swimwear made with Amni Soul Eco® is not only eco-friendly but also safe and gentle for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
How does biodegradability in Amni Soul Eco® work without compromising performance?
Amni Soul Eco® utilizes a proprietary biodegradable polymer that retains the mechanical strength and elasticity of conventional nylon during use but is engineered to break down when exposed to specific microbial activity in composting environments. This smart design provides the durability needed for swimwear without the long-term environmental cost.
Can sustainable swimwear made with Amni Soul Eco® be recycled?
Yes. Amni Soul Eco® swimwear can be recycled through existing nylon recycling streams, just like traditional polyamides. Its biodegradability acts as a fail-safe, ensuring that if the product is not recycled and ends up in the environment, it will biodegrade safely instead of persisting as microplastic pollution.
