Brugnoli ®
presents B.Recycled,
the new zero-kilometre
recycled fabric line
With a firm commitment to quality, style and innovation,
Brugnoli ® - an established Italian company specialised
in the creation of high-end fabrics - shows a
more and more growing focus on environment and
chooses Performance Days to launch B.Recycled, its
new high-quality, zero-kilometre fabric line based on
recycled yarn, a product that adds a new dimension
of eco-sustainability to the Brugnoli ® offer. In order
to guarantee fabrics with exceptional quality and
undisputed performances, Brugnoli ® focuses on the
excellence of its raw materials and once again relys
on its well-established partner, the Italian company
Fulgar, which highlights the crucial role environmental
responsibility plays in its operations with the claim
“A better way to the future”. That’s why, when it came
to its new B.Recycled product, Brugnoli ® chose Q-NO-
VA ® by Fulgar ® , an eco-sustainable nylon 6.6 fibre obtained
exclusively from pre-consumer recycling – in
other words, using intact, raw, traceable materials –
that retains their qualitative features without needing
to undergo further regeneration processes that would
impact on environment. This also leads to a reduction
in CO2 emissions and water consumption. This zero-kilometre
Made in Italy product line means the supply
chain is monitored and certified throughout. The
creation of B.Recycled by Brugnoli ® , in fact, starts with
a raw materials recycling process carried out entirely
in the Fulgar ® laboratories and mills. Work then continues
at the Brugnoli ® plant, where all the fabrics are
created, produced and dyed in the same location,
without the need to transport them elsewhere.
B.Recycled by Brugnoli ® joins Br4, the innovative
family of bio-based fabrics developed by Brugnoli
® . This has now been enhanced by new solutions
and variations, including Br4-111, a light stretch
Jersey that is ideal for T-shirts, Br4-9, a wonderfully
comfortable double-sided fabric designed for
leisure-time leggings and cardigans, and Br4-33,
a versatile product with clean cut technology. In
short, it’s a family of fabrics of different weights and
weaves that can fulfil the requirements of numerous
collections and segments, from sports to beachwear
and intimate wear, athleisure and daywear.
In 2015 Brugnoli ® broke new ground with the launch
of its Br4 technology (European Patent Pending by
Brugnoli ® ) for the creation of bio-based fabrics. The
eco-sustainable production process enables the
creation of extremely high-quality fabrics made
using EVO ® by Fulgar ® , a revolutionary bio-based
yarn obtained from castor bean. This is a totally
renewable resource, not intended for food, which
does not demand large amounts of water or take
up land used for food production. EVO ® by Fulgar is
an eco-friendly yarn that provides total comfort and
technical performance combined with light weight,
stretch, breathability and fast drying, plus naturally
thermoregulating and bacteriostatic properties.
“The choice of fibres and raw materials is the base
to create a successful product, and that applies
to eco-sustainablility, too” – says Roberto Denna,
President of Brugnoli ® – “Developing a bio-based
fabric, or one based on recycled yarn, must be
in line with our quality standards oo the excellent
touch, colour-fastness and stretch our products
are known for. All these qualities distinguish every
Brugnoli ® fabric, and they are what the market expects
from us”. “We are delighted to contribute to
create environmentally-aware, Made in Italy fabrics
like those developed by our partner, Brugnoli
® “– adds Alan Garosi, Marketing Manager at Fulgar
– “This represents a guarantee of increasingly
sustainable fashion in order to protect our environment
and our region”. All Brugnoli ® fabrics are 100%
Made in Italy, as are Fulgar ® raw materials.
