Q-CYCLE® by Fulgar - A new way of making yarns

The new eco-sustainable Q-Cycle® yarn is the result of the interaction between BASF’s ChemCycling™ recycling project and Fulgar’s textile skills and experience. ChemCycling™ makes it possible to re-use fossil raw materials at the end of their lifecycle in their initial component forms, displaying the same properties as the virgin project without using non-renewable sources like oil. This unique process is carried out and assessed on the basis of a Mass Balance approach.

The result is Q-CYCLE®, an innovative post-cosumtion recyled polyamide 6,6 offering the same functional and aesthetic benefits of lightness, strength and resistance but in a greener form. It can be used to produce high quality fabrics and is the ideal solution for all textile applications – it can be processed with ease like a normal polyamide, so it combines with all fibres.
