Fulgar, a global leader in innovative man-made yarns, is
reinforcing its commitment to a responsible textile supply
chain. At Performance Days in Munich, the company is
showcasing its cutting-edge solutions beyond fabrics, collaborating
with Nyguard, a specialist in zippers, to introduce QCycletechnology
for a more circular apparel accessories sector.
Q-Cycle production replaces 100% of raw materials with
pyrolysis oil derived from recycled end-of-life tyres, adhering to
the mass balance principle. The high-performance solution
meets the demands of the fashion-tech industry, ensuring
durability, quality, and a reduced environmental footprint.
Certified by international standards such as RCS by Textile
Exchange, ISCC PLUS, LCA, and Oeko-TEX STD CLASS I
Appendix 6, Q-Cycle guarantees sustainability and consumer
safety, the company says.
Nyguard has leveraged Q-Cycle to develop the first zippers
entirely made from recycled high-pollution materials. Daniela
Antunes, Marketing Manager at Fulgar, highlights the
industry’s challenge in achieving circularity: “The process
begins with using waste materials and extends to designing
products that facilitate garment and accessory recycling. Our
collaboration with Nyguard is a significant step toward a more
sustainable future for the entire textile industry.”
At Performance Days (booth H17), Fulgar and Nyguard
present their latest innovations, offering brands and industry
professionals an opportunity to explore sustainable solutions
that integrate high performance with environmental
responsibility
