Designing truly circular garments is hard when elastomers enter the mix. 4EVER changes the equation: a family of monomaterial stretch fabrics that deliver elasticity without elastomer. 4EVER is a new member of Maglificio RIPA’s family of fibres – 100% Polyamide and 100% Polyester stretch fabrics—designed to last, and to start a new life after use
4EVER family by Maglificio Ripa
Built on 100% Polyamide (PA) and 100% Polyester (PES) in single-jersey and interlock, 4EVER is recyclable by design, creating a cleaner pathway at product end-of-life.
Why 4EVER matters?
• Monomaterial: one polymer — simpler recycling routes.
• Stretch without elastomer: engineered elasticity from yarn and knit architecture, not spandex.
• Recyclable by design: enables recovery within PA or PES flows and supports brand circularity roadmaps.*
The three 4EVER bases
• 4EVER ONE — 100% PA, Interlock, 110gsm
• 4EVER TWO — 100% PA, Single Jersey, 70gsm
• 4EVER THREE — 100% PES, Single Jersey, 130gsm
Applications
• Swimwear: clean bases with premium handfeel and coverage.
• Athleisure: fluid comfort with a technical and easy-to-get material story.
• Sportswear: performance stretch without multi-fiber compromise
*Claim note: “recyclable by design” refers to monomaterial PA or PES construction intended to facilitate recycling. Actual recyclability depends on region-specific infrastructure and available programs.
