Black Ember is proud to be the first brand in the World to offer the first recycled Cordura® Nylon fabric. Our latest pack the KOMPAK is the first in the World to be made from the new Cordura® re/cor™ RN66, 100% recycled nylon 6,6.

How did the KOMPAK take on this global role? We were frustrated by the choices out there for recycled fabrics. Most of what you see in recycled fabrics for packs is Polyester based, and a lot of that poly-based textile tends to degrade over time. Not only does that make those recycled Polyesters less sustainable as they shed micro particles into the environment, it also means they tend to be less durable in the long haul. We made a call to our friends at Cordura® to see if they might be working on a recycled nylon. That's when they introduced us to their new RN66, re/cor fabric. The RN66 code name stands for recycled nylon six. That 66 rating means it's a High Tenacity Nylon that's ultra durable and it means it's passed the brutal barrage of tests that make a woven nylon a Cordura®.
