Renewable resources come back by themselves to be used again, like water and sunshine.
So nylon, a by-product of fossil oil, is not a renewable resource.
However, some grades of nylon are produced from castor oil, a renewable resource, and there is growing interest in such materials. Suppliers of renewably resourced nylons include Arkema, BASF, Rhodia, DuPont, Evonik, DSM and Fujitsu.

∙ 7y agoNo, not really, Nylon is a polyamide that is formed from the condensation reaction of adipic acid (a dicarboxylic acid) and 1,6 - diaminohexane (a diamine) and while it can be thermally processed after it is formed, this process produces harmful (to humans) byproducts. Thus most Nylon ends up in landfill where it remains for a long time. It is for this reason that Nylon is not longer used in clothing and restricted to specialist products where its properties are ideal.

Is nylon fiber hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
This depends on type of fiber.
What is Luxurell Nylon?
Luxurell Nylon is a soft fiber made by Stainmaster.
Is Nylon a synthetic fiber or a natural fiber?
Synthetic. It is completely man made.
Is nylon natural fiber?
No, nylon is 100% man-made. It is a strong fiber, first fiber to be manufactured totally from chemicals! Watch when you put acetate on it. It will burn a hole right through it within seconds.
Which is a synthetic fiber which is an alternative of silk?
nylon
Why rayon is called as regenerated fiber?
