YKK releases the Global Collection every season to introduce customers to new and trending fastening products. Global Collection Volume 17 features existing, special, and new developed items which can be produced in China & Asia.

Collection Highlights
– New Developments – Innovative fastening solutions enhancing functionality and design.
Example: NATULON Plus® Zipper with Recycled PET Open Parts
NATULON Plus® Zipper with Recycled PET Open Parts uses recycled PET in many components. By using the same material as the garment wherever possible, it can be recycled together with the garment as a single unit*, contributing to improved recycling efficiency for PET garments.
YKK has also developed a NATULON Plus® Zipper with Recycled PBT Open Parts as an alternative option.

* Whether or not the zipper can be processed alongside garments depends on the processing method of the recycler.
– Special Fasteners – Unique designs for various applications.
Example: Iridescent Enamel Finish Slider
The Iridescent Enamel Finish Slider has surface coated with a special color-shifting lacquer and finished with a gradual hand-painted application, creating a multi-coloured effect that changes with the viewing angle.
– Sustainable Solutions – Slider 3D integrations
Starting in Global Collection 15, a dedicated segment features 3D slider integrations, presented through realistic 3D slider images. These visuals allow designers to evaluate shapes, finishes, and design variations directly from the catalogue, reducing reliance on physical samples in early development stages.
By enabling more informed decisions before prototyping, this approach minimizes material waste, reduces unnecessary sample production, and supports a more sustainable workflow throughout the design process.
