AMNI SOUL ECO® – BIODEGRADABLE POLYAMIDE

Amni Soul Eco® is the world’s first biodegradable synthetic textile yarn and was developed entirely in Brazil. Created by Rhodia Solvay’s textile yarn division, which is 100% Brazilian, the polyamide yarn was designed to decompose completely in landfills, offering an innovative and sustainable alternative to minimize the environmental impacts of the fashion industry.

INNOVATION THAT TRANSFORMS SUSTAINABLE FASHION

Unlike common synthetic fibers, which can take centuries to decompose, Amni Soul Eco® is designed to disappear much more quickly when disposed of in appropriate conditions, such as landfills. Instead of persisting in the environment, it decomposes in less than 4 years thanks to a special additive that attracts microorganisms and accelerates its degradation.

This technology was created by Rhodia (now part of the Solvay group) after years of research. Since then, it has been recognized as one of the most effective solutions for making the textile sector more sustainable.

INTELLIGENT AND CERTIFIED BIODEGRADATION 

The unique feature of Amni Soul Eco® is its ability to biodegrade quickly and efficiently. Decomposition occurs in anaerobic environments, where the yarn is transformed into biomass and biogas, elements that can even be used as energy sources. This efficiency has been proven by international tests, such as ASTM standards, which attest to its decomposition in both landfills and marine environments.

ATTRIBUTES AND BENEFITS

The Amni Soul Eco® yarn maintains the comfort, lightness and resistance of traditional polyamide, with the advantage of promoting more conscious and responsible fashion. The main attributes of this innovation are:

High Durability: Wear-resistant parts with long service life, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Soft Touch: Pleasant feeling on the skin, ideal for daily use.

Comfort: Lightness, elasticity and excellent fit to the body, providing well-being on any occasion.

Quick Drying: Greater practicality in everyday life, with less time and energy needed to dry.

Accelerated Decomposition in Landfills: After disposal, yarn decomposes in about 5 years in landfill environments, while common synthetic materials can take decades.

Reducing Microplastic Pollution in the Oceans: Microplastics released during laundry degrade up to 20 times faster in marine environments, helping to reduce pollution and the impact on aquatic life.

This chain of benefits transforms the way we think about the life cycle of a piece of clothing: from use to disposal, everything can be more responsible.

CONSCIOUS FASHION AND THE COMMITMENT TO THE FUTURE

Choosing biodegradable fabrics is an attitude that strengthens fashion’s environmental responsibility and puts the consumer at the center of change.

As brands like Muese embrace this technology, we are paving the way for a cleaner, more ethical and conscious industry.
