WHAT IS Q-NOVA?
Q-NOVA AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Concern for the environment, recycling, a green lifestyle with zero emissions are just some of the most recent themes which have rightly captured public attention and are also close to our heart.
This is why Fulgar has put together a highly ecological product which aims to reduce CO2 emissions, consume less water and use renewable energy.
PROPERTIES
LIGHTWEIGHT
Q-NOVA enables us to manufacture more lightweight fabrics with the same qualities as fabrics made from Cotton or Polyester.
BREATHABILITY
Q-NOVA boasts excellent moisture control meaning that the skin stays fresh and dry *UNI EN ISO 62.
BRIGHT COLOURS
Q-NOVA has been designed to give the best possible dyeing quality. Fabrics and items of clothing made from Q-NOVA are as robust as those made from virgin polyamide.
THE MCS PROCESS
The MCS process is a mechanical regeneration system which does not involve using chemical materials which would detract from the sustainability of the end product.
Q-NOVA consists of more than half of waste: in fact, such materials could not be reused in any other way and should be disposed of externally as waste.
The selected waste material is re-melted through a mechanical process that regenerates it and returns it to Fulgar in the form of a polymer and then moves on to subsequent processing.
Elements of Sustainability
Sustainability is one of the main pillars of Fulgar's social responsibility policy and is well expressed by the slogan “a better way to the future”. These words sum up Fulgar's keen environmental awareness and fierce determination to preserve and enhance the global ecosystem.

CERTIFICATIONS
OEKO-TEX® STD 100 CLASS I appendix 6
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is an independent and uniform control and certification system at an international level for raw materials, semi-finished and finished products in the textile sector at every level of processing, as well as for the accessory materials used. Thanks to its decades of experience, STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® helps to guarantee high and effective product safety from the consumer's point of view.
GLOBAL RECYCLED STANDARD
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is an international, voluntary, full product standard that sets requirements for third-party certification of Recycled Content, chain of custody, social and environmental practices, and chemical restrictions. The goal of the GRS is to increase use of Recycled materials in products and reduce/eliminate the harm caused by its production.
HIGG INDEX
Developed by the SAC - Sustainable Apparel Coalition - which includes many of the most illustrious names in the international garment industry, the idea behind the Higg index is to create a unique instrument available to all operators in the supply chain, enabling them to assess the environmental impact of a garment's entire life cycle.
EU ECOLABEL
EU ECOLABEL is a voluntary environmental label for goods and/or services (generally referred to as “products”). These products must meet specific criteria related to a reduction in the overall environmental impact. The criteria depend on the product group. The EU ECOLABEL is ruled by Regulation (EC) NO 66/2010 and fits the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) definition for a Type 1 ECOLABEL. This means the EU ECOLABEL is awarded on a voluntary basis, based on multiple criteria, by an independent third party to indicate overall environmental preferability within a specific product category based on a life-cycle assessment.
LCA
LCA - Life Cycle Assessment is a process of evaluating the effects that a product has on the environment over the entire period of its life thereby increasing resource-use efficiency and decreasing liabilities. It can be used to study the environmental impact of either a product or the function the product is designed to perform, identifying and quantifying the environmental loads involved; e.g. the energy and raw materials consumed and the emissions generated. Also, evaluating the potential environmental impacts of these loads allow assessing the options available for reducing these environmental impacts.
