Giulio Bonazzi has dedicated his career to evolving Aquafil S.p.A. into a global leading player in the textile and carpet industry. Aquafil was founded by Bonazzi’s parents 50 years ago in Arco, Italy.
An innovator and disruptor, Bonazzi is transforming his family’s manufacturing business into a sustainable global enterprise.
To achieve this vision, Bonazzi challenged the organization to develop a recycled nylon material by turning waste, that would otherwise pollute the earth, into brand-new fibers.
Where others see waste, Bonazzi saw opportunity.
After several years of investment in R&D and a relentless pursuit of a new way to regenerate nylon, ECONYL®️ was born.
Aquafil launched ECONYL®️ regenerated nylon in 2011 and today it is one of the most prestigious ingredients in the world for fashion designers and carpet manufacturers.
Today, Aquafil is recognized as a sustainability leader, a stalwart example of the circular economy and an innovator within the synthetic textile industry.
Giulio Bonazzi is a sought-after speaker and has shared insights on circular economy and business model at leading conferences.
