“Turning waste into value”


At PERFORMANCE DAYS, innovation takes center stage — and Paltex is set to showcase its latest developments live on site. Known for pushing boundaries in functional fabrics, Paltex will present its groundbreaking 3-layer fabric innovation, PureCycle, designed to bring circularity into outdoor and performance textiles. Visitors can look forward to exploring how Paltex combines high performance, comfort, and sustainability — transforming CO₂ emissions into versatile, recyclable fabrics — and learn how this approach is shaping the future of textiles.

At PERFORMANCE DAYS, the focus is always on innovation – which new developments in your workwear fabrics will you be presenting at the fair, and how do they respond to current market needs (e.g. durability, comfort, sustainability)?
This time we will showcase PureCycle, a 3-layer fabric that brings circularity into outdoor textiles. Instead of using conventional PU membranes, we’ve developed a mono-material solution with CCU (Carbon Capture Utilization)-based polyester, recycled PET film, and PET adhesive. This makes the fabric 100% recyclable while maintaining waterproofness, breathability, and durability.
What makes it special is not only the performance, but also the story behind it – we are literally transforming CO₂ emissions into functional polymers. Combined with mechanical stretch that replaces elastane, PureCycle embodies both comfort and circular design. For us, fabric is never “just a material”; it’s part of the brand’s story and values.

PALTEX PureCycle Highlights:

  • CCU TECH: Converts CO₂ waste into functional polymers
  • Mono-Material: CCU POLY + 50% GRS-certified PET film + PET glue bonding
  • Mechanical Stretch: No elastane, full performance
  • 100% Recyclable: True circular composition
  • Low Carbon: Reduced footprint, less fossil reliance

Sustainability has become a key driver in functional fabrics. How is Paltex integrating sustainable practices and materials into your workwear range, and what specific solutions can visitors discover at PERFORMANCE DAYS?
Sustainability has always been at the heart of Paltex. We don’t see it as a one-time goal, but an ongoing journey. PureCycle is a result of that mindset – turning waste into value and offering a fabric that brands can confidently integrate into their collections.
We see our role not only as a supplier, but as a partner that helps brands navigate certifications, chemical management, and environmental compliance. At PERFORMANCE DAYS, visitors will discover that our approach goes beyond a single innovation – it’s a full value chain commitment, from raw materials to end-of-life recyclability.

Workwear is constantly evolving with new safety standards, performance requirements, and design expectations. Which trends or challenges do you see shaping the future of workwear textiles, and how is Paltex positioning itself to address them?
From our perspective, the future of performance textiles is being shaped by three main forces. The first is circularity and transparency, where fabrics must be designed with recyclability in mind, and supply chains are expected to be fully traceable. The second is comfort and ergonomics, as outdoor protection today needs to feel as natural and effortless as sportswear. The third is sustainability as a baseline, because lowering carbon impact is no longer an added value but rather the standard toward which the industry is moving.
Paltex is positioning itself right in the middle of this transition. With our complete product range and extensive supply chain network, we are able to connect innovation, certifications, and practical solutions. This gives our partners the confidence to focus on telling their brand stories, knowing that the performance and sustainability foundation is already secured.
