Sustainable Products
Along with the above sustainable production, YKK will continue developing and introducing sustainable products. NATULON, Organic Cotton and plant-based zippers are some of our representative sustainable products.
NATULON
NATULON zippers are a resource-conserving, recycling-oriented product made from PET bottles, old fiber and other polyester remnants. It is the result of a double-layered development system using both chemical and material recycling.
This manufacturing process was carefully designed to reduce negative influences on the environment such as energy consumption, CO2 emission, the use of crude oil and the production of industrial waste. A wise use of resources is vital; it has been predicted that many resources may run out in the future.
NATULON Chemically Recycled Zipper
NATULON zippers made from chemically recycled polyester (post consumer), it is perpetually recyclable. Through our NATULON fastening products, we have reduced the need for new materials by employing the most advanced chemical recycling technology.
