Finnish oil refiner Neste (NESTE.HE) partnered with Goldwin, Idemitsu Kosan, and Toray Industries to develop a supply chain for renewable nylon fiber.
The nylon fiber, produced using Neste's renewable naphtha raw material Neste RE, will be used by Goldwin to develop certain products of The North Face brand in August, according to a Thursday release.
Neste said the use of Neste RE can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the raw material by up to 85%, compared with virgin fossil raw materials.
