LEMAR ELEVATES SUSTAINABILITY TO A HIGHER LEVEL

With Sensil ByNature, Lemar has developed an innovative collection of fabrics that improves the sustainability profile of clothing. Sensil ByNature is a new premium nylon 6.6 fiber produced by the Israeli company Nilit, which takes the concept of sustainability to a higher level.

“With the introduction of Sensil ByNature, the aim is to reach customers who want to approach a new, respectful, and conscious lifestyle. Sensil ByNature presents the opportunity to produce all types of Nylon 6.6 fabrics that we have, but now with a more sustainable approach, maintaining the same product performance, soft touch, and longevity that our customers are used to obtaining”, says Manuela Araújo, CEO of Lemar, to the Knitting Industry online newspaper.

The collaboration between Lemar and fiber producer Nilit began with the spring-summer 2024 collection presented at Milano Unica, Première Vision, and MODTISSIMO. The collection, made entirely in Europe, features “crisp, light, and opaque fabrics developed in fresh, elegant, and sophisticated colors”. Ideal for evening wear, beach wear, or upper casual wear, as Nilit tells Knitting Industry, this is a revolutionary design using certified Biomass Balance (BMB) material.

The technology replaces fossil raw materials with renewable ones, considerably improving the apparel product’s carbon footprint and moving the industry closer to a more sustainable position. Compared to traditional nylon thread made from fossil raw material, with this approach, renewable resources are used as raw material in the first stages of the production process.

ISCCplus-certified innovation Sensil ByNature reduces greenhouse gas emissions and decreases dependence on non-renewable resources. Thus, clothing made with Sensil ByNature fabrics allows the reduction of the consumers’ carbon footprint while maintaining the same comfort and performance. Tough and durable, textile sustainability and circularity continue through reuse and recycling at later stages of the apparel lifecycle.
