Circ recycles the most abundant waste streams from the textile industry—polyester, cotton, and polycotton blends—into high-quality materials that can be reused by the textile supply chain. Circ is uniquely capable of breaking down polycotton blends, a known challenge for the industry. Through its patented process, Circ has developed the only in-market solution to successfully separate polycotton blended textile waste and recover both cellulosic and synthetic fibers, enabling collaboration with brands like Zara, Target, Mara Hoffman, and Christian Siriano. Circ’s long-term goal is to scale this solution globally to address the most significant environmental challenges in the industry while delivering tremendous value for its customers and partners.
