Milano Unica, the leading trade show for high-end fabrics and accessories for men's and women's fashion, has placed sustainability at the heart of its mission. This commitment is fully embraced by Fulgar, a globally recognized Italian leader in the man-made fibre sector, which has been developing innovative and traceable solutions for over a decade, offering a cutting-edge portfolio of eco-sustainable yarns.
Among these, standout products include Q-NOVA, a regenerated yarn; Amni Soul Eco, the accelerated decomposition fibre; and Q-CYCLE, a revolutionary polyamide obtained from the recycling of highly polluting post-consumer materials, such as discarded tires, enabling a CO₂ emission reduction of up to 50%. The portfolio is further enriched by the bio-based fibres EVO and Q-GEO.
In particular, Q-GEO, Fulgar’s latest innovation, has been selected as an innovative polyamide fibre for the new collection by Gruppo Dondi - a leading company in knitted fabric production - presented during the 40th edition of Milano Unica.
This yarn retains all the characteristics of traditional polyamide in terms of production processes and applications but offers several advantages: 50% greater breathability compared to conventional polyamide yarns, exceptional durability, ensuring long-lasting colour and performance retention, and, most importantly, a bio-based core. 46% of the fibre comes from bio-based polyamide derived exclusively from industrial corn, which is no longer suitable for food consumption.
Daniela Antunes, Marketing Manager at Fulgar, commented: "We are thrilled to showcase our products at this edition of Milano Unica, a key event for the international fashion textile industry. The growing interest in our sustainable yarns is a testament to years of dedication and investment. We will continue working to develop an increasingly responsible and traceable supply chain, positioning Fulgar at the forefront of innovation while supporting our partners with our green solutions."
