Fulgar x Nyguard
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.”
