Circ®’s Post

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

We are thrilled to see Denzil Patrick utilize Circ® materials for their contribution to Kering's Material Innovation Lab. In collaboration with our partners at PYRATEX®, the London-based label designed a one-of-a-kind dechiré black and red jacket as well as shorts — putting a sustainable and iconoclastic twist on two classic men’s pieces. We were happy to collaborate with Denzil Patrick and #PYRATEX on a fantastic look!

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.

Our CEO, Peter Majeranowski, and CBO, Luke Henning, kicked things off by reuniting with our fellow 2023 #EarthshotPrize finalists at a wonderful Welcome Dinner and are looking forward to a week full of opportunities to connect and talk with others about how we can all speed to scale. #LCAW2024

We launched Circ®-Ready because transforming the #fashionindustry requires change across the *whole* supply chain, not just brands. This exclusive community is intended to help partners across the supply chain become experts at not only using Circ®’s recycled fibers, but also experts in creating high-quality fashion products from them, as well. As brands and retailers are being asked, more and more, to choose sustainable means of fashion, these manufacturing partners are proactively making the choice to operationalize the use of Circ’s recycled material — helping us make even more comprehensive progress toward a more #circularfashion economy. 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 here: https://lnkd.in/gNggTfnA

Shifting how the industry makes materials toward better-for-the-planet solutions is no small lift. So how do we begin to overhaul a global industry built on centuries-old processes? We have some ideas, but you'll have to stay tuned...
