RYU (Respect Your Universe) Apparel has signed a Letter Of Intent (LOI) with Spanish-based company, Nylstar, in order to achieve valuable improvements in its entire supply chain and to reach the highest possible level of sustainability in its production circle. RYU specialises in developing performance apparel for the athletic-minded consumer.

Nylstar has been producing the highest quality nylon yarns since 1953, and already supplies some of the largest apparel retailers in the industry; its Meryl brand has always focused on three fundamental qualities, touch, quality, and sustainability, and has promoted a new sustainability standard under the Nateo label that will be the basis of RYU’s sustainability programmes, RYU said in a press release.

The partnership with Nylstar will offer RYU the opportunity to improve the quality of its products, optimise its entire supply chain, and design recyclable garments under Nateo programmes that will keep the company at the forefront of the industry.

“The transformation of consumer priorities has taken the industry with the pants down, and I have personally faced this challenge, visiting companies around the world until I have met Alfonso Cirera, the owner of Nylstar, who shares with me the need for a comprehensive and radical solution to become genuinely sustainable. Sustainability is a big topic in the media and we need to do our best to make our industry as sustainable as possible. Joining our forces with this new partner and having access to the Meryl yarn is a big step forward for RYU and we look forward to the results we can achieve, not only for ourselves but also for our entire industry, always keeping an eye on the quality RYU is known for,” Marcello Leone, CEO of RYU said.
