From its foundation in 1968 as Fibras ESSO, after its acquisition by SAMCA Group in 1999 and up to today, NUREL has gone through different stages and we have adapted to the fast changes experienced in our social, economic and industrial surroundings.
Nowadays, we have five decades of experience in nylon yarns and polyamide polymers and, since 2015, also in sustainable biopolymers.
Thanks to the work and effort of all people that belonged and belongs to NUREL, we have become a reference in the national and international market in the scopes of:
Nylon 6 y 66 Yarns
Engineering and Packaging Polymers
Biopolymers
There have been numerous events, changes, investigations and key achievements all the way up of NUREL’s development, that have led to the company we are today. Here we put together some of the most important milestones of NUREL.
With an eye on sustainability and anticipating market trends and future environmental regulations, NUREL has developed a new range of renewable and compostable biobased biopolymers: INZEA®.
INZEA is our answer to the demands of our customers for more sustainable plastic materials. INZEA is a range of biopolymers that may be processed by injection or extrusion methods using conventional equipments.
With optimal mechanical properties and similar processing parameters, INZEA could be the sustainable solution to replace petroleum-based polymers e.g. polyolefins or styrenics. INZEA biopolymers are compatible with standard fillers, additives and biopolymer based master-batches.

From nature, back to nature
INZEA is obtained from renewable sources. Using NUREL technology, raw materials and intermediates are converted into our INZEA biopolymers. Then eco-designed products may be produced by using INZEA biobased & compostable solutions.
INZEA product range is designed to return to nature by different disposal methods like industrial & home composting, or by biodegradation in different environments that may include soil, water or anaerobic digestion.
During biodegradation, the action of the temperature and microorganisms transform the materials into CO2, H2O and biomass, nourishing the soil and preparing it for the germination of seeds. New plants will grow and the lifecycle will reinitiate.
INZEA is biodegradable and compostable, in accordance to EN 13432
INZEA is biobased with high renewable content
INZEA product range is suitable for Food Contact
