Fulgar, Nyguard introduce sustainable zipper technology

Fulgar, a global leader in innovative
man-made yarns, is strengthening
its dedication to sustainable
textile solutions. At Performance Days
Munich, the company is unveiling
new advancements beyond fabrics by
collaborating with Nyguard, a specialist
in zippers, to introduce Q-Cycle
technology, aiming to create a more
circular and eco-friendly accessories
sector.
The Q-Cycle process completely
replaces raw materials with pyrolysis
oil derived from recycled end-of-life
tyres, following the mass balance
principle. This high-performance
solution meets the growing demand for
durable, high-quality, and low-impact
fashion-tech materials. It is certified
by RCS (Textile Exchange), ISCC
PLUS, LCA, and Oeko-TEX STD
CLASS I Appendix 6, ensuring both
sustainability and consumer safety.
Nyguard has used Q-Cycle to develop
the first-ever zippers made entirely
from recycled high-pollution materials.
Daniela Antunes, Fulgar’s Marketing
Manager, emphasized the importance
of circularity in textiles: “The journey
begins with waste materials and
extends to designing products that
support recycling in garments and
accessories. Our collaboration with
Nyguard is a key step toward a more
sustainable textile industry.”
