Fulgar, the Italian company recognised for its leadership in the production of innovative and sustainable yarns, took part in an Expert Talk at the Performance Days exhibition in Munich on 29 October 2025. Daniela Antunes, Marketing Manager at Fulgar, joined Drishti Masand, Senior Manager of Sustainability Direction at adidas AG, and Tobias Schwab, Marketing & New Business Sustainability Polyamides at BASF, for the panel discussion titled “T-REX: Creating a Blueprint for a Circular Textile Ecosystem in the EU.”

The session gathered three of the thirteen partners of the T-REX (Textile Recycling Excellence) project to present the T-REX Blueprint – a strategic document developed within the EU-funded initiative that concluded earlier in 2025. Launched three years ago, T-REX aimed to create a harmonised framework for closed-loop textile-to-textile recycling by combining the expertise and resources of leading industrial players such as Fulgar, BASF and adidas, along with research institutions, policymakers and technology providers.

The Blueprint sets out actionable recommendations and best practices to accelerate Europe’s transition towards a circular textile ecosystem. It serves as both a model and a practical roadmap for all stakeholders across the value chain, demonstrating that textile circularity is attainable through coordinated innovation, supportive policy, and shared responsibility.

“Taking part in Performance Days represents a valuable opportunity to share the experiences and outcomes of a journey that has proven how collaboration can truly drive change. Our vision is clear: to build a more responsible and circular textile supply chain, where innovation and sustainability are not added values but essential requirements for future competitiveness,” said Daniela Antunes, Marketing Manager at Fulgar.

With its continued commitment to sustainable innovation, Fulgar confirms its position as a key player within the textile supply chain, contributing to the creation of a more responsible production ecosystem. Through the development of new generations of low-impact fibres and processes, the company promotes an industrial model that combines high performance, aesthetic quality and sustainability, collaborating with partners to transform the textile value chain towards circularity.
