Global Recycling Day –  Closing the Loop on Textile Waste! ♻🌍

​

Global Recycling Day occurred on March 18, and at IKAR sustainability is a core value. Every year, 92 million tons of textile waste pollute our planet, harming valuable resources. 

We are on a mission to reduce our ecological footprint, raising the bar continuously! 

Today we are offering new diverse technologics; one of them is Loop Tech -  transforming end-of-life of polyamide 6 into high-quality recycled → raw materials → yarns →  fabrics → new products.

We give new life to materials that would otherwise be discarded, reducing waste and promoting true circularity in the textile industry. 

​

♻ Together, we are making a true impact!

🌍✨ Highlighting Sustainability and Innovation at Performance Days ✨🌍

​

Last week’s Performance Days in Munich showcased exciting advancements in the world of circular knitting, with a strong emphasis on sustainability.

We were thrilled to be part of the event, where innovations in recycled yarns, seamless technology, and eco-friendly fabric development took center stage, demonstrating the industry’s commitment to a more sustainable future.

​

The insightful discussions reaffirmed the vital role of sustainable solutions in performance textiles, continuously pushing the boundaries of design and functionality.

We look forward to embracing these innovations and continuing our journey toward a more circular and sustainable industry.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and at IKAR Group, we believe in standing strong for the cause. 💗 🎗 

​

As we continue to invest and develop innovative bras, we are reminded of the strength and resilience of those battling breast cancer.
Early detection and support are key to increasing survival rates - when caught early, the 5-year relative survival rate can be as high as 99%.
Let’s take action by encouraging regular screenings and spreading awareness.

Together, we can make a difference. 

​

While there is nothing in the fashion industry that’s truly invisible, our goal
is to minimize our footprint as far as possible; stubbornly raising the bar of
eco-responsibility.

The majority of our fabrics are dyed using sustainable machines which save significant water & electricity consumption compared to the industry average.

Happy World Environmental Day!
