Fulgar has joined the Higg Index. Fulgar is a manufacturer of nylon and covered yarns for the manmade fiber sector. In this way it takes its place beside the most important fashion brands in encouraging the eco-sustainable success and development of the global textile-apparel industry.
Higg Index has been developed by the SAC, Sustainable Apparel Coalition, which includes many of the most illustrious names in the international garment industry. The index uses credible scientific data to objectively measure a product’s environmental performance. The Higg index aims 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.
Fulgar’s flagship product, Q-Nova, is a 6.6 eco-sustainable nylon fiber made exclusively from regenerated raw materials. This ecological product fulfils precise traceability requirements and aims to generate reductions in CO2 emissions and cut water use. Higg is further proof of Fulgar’s commitment to green production and to supporting the values of its eco-friendly products. The index for now is applied to Q-Nova but will soon be extended to other categories of Fulgar products.
