Q-NOVA®

Q-NOVA® is an environmentally-sustainable nylon 6.6 fibre obtained from regenerated raw materials and which meets given traceability requirements.

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. 

 

 

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® is made for more than half by pre-consumption waste : these materials were unusable in any other way and would have been disposed of as external waste.

The discarded materials are recast using a mechanical regeneration process after which they return to Fulgar in the form of a polymer which is then integrated into further processing stages.

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. It is a significant step forward towards transparency in the textile sector, and a powerful support for all companies in the value chain as it provides them with a method of comparing different materials so they can make knowledgeable, more sustainable choices.
