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 Q-Cycletechnology 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.
