In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, YKK launches the new A/W 21-22 collection, also in digital format, to facilitate their customers’ interest in the latest news in terms of fastening products, even in this difficult situation. The format was designed to facilitate a deeper understanding of the collection and its new aspects and innovations also through digital tools. Customers will receive an exclusive invitation to view the range and can digitally book a meeting with the YKK team to receive more information or to request product samples.
The protagonist of the A/W 2021-22 collection will again be Natulon®, the range of zippers focusing on recycling and saving resources, made with PET bottles, fibers and other polyester residues.
The Natulon® production process reduces the impact on the environment by lowering energy consumption, CO2 emissions, the use of crude oil and the production of industrial waste.
YKK offers its customers the choice between two recycling systems: chemical or material.
In the first case, Natulon® Chemically Recycled, the chemically recycled post-consumer polyester is restored to its original molecular structure, making it perpetually recyclable. This process eliminates the need for virgin material.
In the second case, Natulon® Material Recycled tape is produced from recycled polyester and pelletized using the latest technology. The resulting product becomes the perfect solution for Customers aiming to increase the content of recycled material in their products.
Finally, GreenRise®, the YKK zipper partially of plant origin, whose raw biological component is molasses, a by-product of sugar production. This solution is ideal for those who want to reduce the input of new plastic material.
