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.

HIGG INDEX

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.
