At Circ®, we’ve always known that wide-scale change requires wide-scale action. To that end, in the last few years, we’ve partnered with brands like #ZARA and Mara Hoffman to help bring our recycled fibers to people around the world. Ultimately, though, in order to drive brands' next-gen material uptake, the supply chain that services them must be equipped. We’re expanding the reach of our materials by partnering with members of the fashion supply chain — to create even wider-scale opportunities for circular change. Introducing: Circ®-Ready. This select community is made up of various industry partners who are committed to operationalizing the use of Circ®’s recycled materials. Circ®-Ready partners not only know the value of Circ’s regenerated fibers, but also know how to use and work with them — helping brands achieve their visions and playing an integral part in threading together the future of circular fashion. The inaugural Circ®-Ready partners include Artistic Garment Industries (AGI Denim), Foshan Chicley Textile Co., Ltd., Giotex, Marubeni Corporation, MAS Holdings, PYRATEX®, Selenis Specialty Polyester Solutions, SHINJINTEX, Soorty Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. Denimkind, Tainan Spinning Co., Ltd., and Taiwan Textile Research Institute (TTRI). Learn more about Circ®-Ready and our partners, here: https://lnkd.in/gNggTfnA

FastCo Most Innovative + Certified B Corp + Earthshot Prize Finalist 🌍 Protecting the planet from the cost of clothing
About us
2023 Earthshot Prize Finalist on a mission to protect the planet from the cost of clothing. At Circ, we’ve created a technology system that returns clothes to the raw materials from which they were made. Again and again. Brand partners like Patagonia, Marubeni, and Fashion For Good are joining us in our goal of turning wasteful fashion lines into renewable fashion circles. By 2030, we expect to have recycled 10 billion garments, represent 10% of the global apparel market, and to have saved more than 100 million trees. As our ecology and economy grow evermore entwined, it is clear to us that the world already has all the clothing it needs to create all the clothing it will ever need. Join us in threading together the future of circular fashion and eliminating our collective fashion footprint.

Our always-on-the-move director of corporate development Arshiya Lal managed to sit down long enough to talk with Tuncay Kılıçkan for the latest episode of TENCEL™ 's Blue Cast – a podcast created by the #TENCEL denim team. Among other things, Arshiya and Tuncay discuss the technology Circ® uses to separate polycotton blends in our recycling process as well as our game plan moving forward to ensure critical supply chains are in place as we scale production capabilities to meet commercial demands in our continuing pursuit of true fashion #circularity.

Excited to share that Denzil Patrick has embraced Circ® materials for their work with Kering's Material Innovation Lab. Teaming up with our partners at PYRATEX®, they’ve crafted a unique dechiré black and red jacket and shorts, giving a sustainable twist to classic menswear. Collaborating with Denzil Patrick and PYRATEX® has been fantastic. This project exemplifies how Circ® materials can redefine fashion by integrating sustainability without compromising style. https://lnkd.in/eyhag7NY

Being in London last week was a much-needed shot of optimism and reminder that there is a whole lot of good in this world. Attending the Breakthrough Energy Summit during London Climate Action Week (#LCAW2024), reuniting with fellow #EarthshotPrize finalists, launching Circ®-Ready at #FutureFabricsExpo, and meeting with so many other brilliant minds who are working to create a sustainable future made it clear that, together, we are all making significant strides toward reducing our impact on the planet. We are so grateful for the partnerships and connections we’ve made on this journey thus far. Even more good things to come, friends. #BESummit24 The Earthshot Prize The Sustainable Angle Bill Gates Artistic Garment Industries (AGI Denim), Foshan Chicley Textile Co., Ltd., Giotex, Marubeni Corporation, MAS Holdings, PYRATEX®, Selenis Specialty Polyester Solutions, SHINJINTEX, Soorty Enterprises Pvt.

I’m proud to share that we just launched our Circ®-Ready community, a vibrant group of like-minded supply-chain partners at every node, from fiber to yarns, fabrics to final garments, all working with Circ’s materials. Our Circ®-Ready partners are forward-thinking pioneers eager to collaborate with next-generation technologies to protect the planet from the cost of clothing. This community is dedicated to creating an "easy button" for brands that want to make clothing from old clothes rather than natural resources. The inaugural Circ®-Ready partners include Artistic Garment Industries (AGI Denim), Foshan Chicley Textiles Co., Ltd., Giotex, Marubeni Corporation, MAS Holdings, PYRATEX®, Selenis Specialty Polyester Solutions, SHINJINTEX, Soorty Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. Denimkind, Tainan Spinning Co., Ltd., and (TTRI) Taiwan Textile Research Institute. These partners are transforming our recycled pulp and monomers into high-quality products, helping brands achieve their sustainability goals and shaping the future of circular fashion. Being Circ®-Ready offers significant advantages. With increasing regulatory demands in the EU and U.S., our partners are ahead of the curve, ready to meet the highest sustainability standards. This collaboration provides a competitive edge in a market where the demand for sustainable products is rapidly growing. Our partners gain early access to innovative materials, receive specialized support from our technical experts, and have opportunities to collaborate on groundbreaking projects with leading global brands. This isn’t just beneficial for the planet—it’s a game-changer for business. As we continue to thoughtfully expand our Circ®-Ready community, the future of sustainable fashion looks brighter than ever. Together, let's keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible!
