Q-CYCLE® BY FULGAR AT THE SHOW

Munich, 15 March 2023 – Performance Days, the exhibition dedicated to the functional fabrics industry, begins in Munich, with Fulgar in the foreground with the Q-CYCLE® yarn in the Schoeller and FOV Fabrics collections. The yarn is the result of an innovative chemical recycling technology where the raw material necessary to produce the yarn has been replaced by pyrolysis oil from used and discarded tyres.

FOV Fabrics, a Swedish fabric company with a focus on sustainability and innovation, brings to the show a new eco-sustainable collection of fabrics in collaboration with Fulgar. As the FOV style office states: “We live in a world that is increasingly attentive to sustainable issues, which leads us to constantly invest in innovations in that direction. And it is thanks to the historic collaboration with a partner like Fulgar, which in the past also made us develop collections with the bio-based yarn EVO® by Fulgar, that we have once again managed to give life to - Forever, by FOV - a collection of "environmentally friendly" fabrics, made with eco-sustainable fibers, such as Q-CYCLE®. Together with Fulgar, we can fill the gap in the market in terms of the lack of recycled, durable products without neglecting quality and performance.”.

Even Schoeller - a Swiss company in the textile sector - chooses Performance Days to present its latest collection of fabrics with RE-SOURCE recycled yarns made with the revolutionary Fulgar Q-CYCLE® fiber. “RE-SOURCE is further confirmation of the vision of the Schoeller brand, which aspires to a better future for people and the planet through the contribution of the textile industry. The collection creates a synergy between high quality, sophisticated design, sustainability and traceability. Collaborating with companies such as Fulgar allows us both to create eco-sustainable fabrics and to always guarantee certified quality standards and very high performance”, says Antonio Gatti Balsarri, Chief Commercial Officer of Schoeller.
