The world’s
first bio-degradable
polyamide yarn
The Rhodia-Solvay Group, an international company
specialising in the development of latest-generation
chemical products, once again shows its
confidence in Fulgar’s know-how and expertise.
The Italian company, international leader in the
production of synthetic and coated yarns, is distributing
for European market AMNI SOUL ECO ® , the
world’s first biodegradable polyamide yarn. After
the fantastic reception achieved by EMANA ® , the
successful collaboration between the Rhodia-Solvay
Group and Fulgar continues with AMNI SOUL
ECO ® , with a focus on sustainability. Fashion and
the environment are increasingly speaking the
same language, and environmental issues are
playing a crucial role in the development of new
textile solutions. The disposal of growing amounts
of waste is an important problem facing our planet.
Every year, for example, over a million items of
clothing are thrown away. These factors inspired
the project that with AMNI SOUL ECO ® introduces
a high-performance product that also respects the
environment throughout its lifecycle, contributing
to an overall reduction in textile waste. Strengthened
by an improved formula polyamide 6.6, unlike
most synthetic fibres AMNI SOUL ECO ® biodegrades
in less than three years. This enables the production
of garments that decompose rapidly. The innovative
yarn is eco-friendly in both the disposal and
production stage. Careful water re-use during production
avoids waste, while the special treatment
applied to greenhouse gases help ensure that the
ozone level remains unchanged. In this way AMNI
SOUL ECO ® becomes sustainable at every stage of
production, a green heart that complements the
functional performance provided by the new technology.
The garments made using fabrics containing
the special yarn offer excellent comfort, wear,
breathability, easy-wash and quick-dry properties.
Versatile and ideal for a wide range of applications,
AMNI SOUL ECO ® is suitable for every type
of fabric production process, providing the textile
industry with a unique opportunity to create quality
products for different garment sectors (lingerie
and underwear, legwear, beach and sportswear,
casual wear, jeans wear and fashion in general).
