Tire recycled fabric
Black pollution "- the recycling and disposal of waste tires has always been a recognized global problem. The number of waste tires worldwide reaches 1.5 billion annually;
For example, in Europe, 1.37 million tons of tires are not recycled every year.
In Europe alone, 1.37 million tons of tires (40% of total production) are not recycled each year but burned, resulting in significant carbon dioxide emissions;
Recently, Fulgar, an Italian company, launched its first Q-Cycle yarn produced from recycled tire materials
Q-Cycle yarn is the result of an innovative chemical recycling technology - pyrolysis technology, which is part of BASF's ChemCycle recycling project and Fulgar spinning technology.
Pyrolysis technology can be applied to any plastic waste that cannot be mechanically recycled, such as scrap tires, and can also restore the material to its original state. This technology achieves a dual virtuous cycle through self-sufficiency: the portion of waste that cannot be converted into raw materials is pyrolyzed into gas and used to generate the energy required for the entire recycling process. Distribute the recycled content to the final product through the use of third-party controlled quality balancing methods.
Fulgar's Q-Cycle is a polyamide 6.6 yarn, and the raw materials used in its production process are 100% replaced by pyrolysis oil from scrapped or retired tires, produced according to the principle of mass balance. This polyamide provides the same functional quality and process advantages as the original polyamide 6.6 (lightweight, high strength, and resistance), but in a more sustainable and easily obtainable form. This revolutionary yarn is an ideal solution for various textile applications, easy to process, and can be perfectly combined with other yarns.
