WE ARE CIRCLE–8

Advancing the new circular textiles industry

Building the ecosystem and infrastructure to unlock textile-to-textile recycling.

Our regional vision to solve a global problem.

THE WHAT
Home_Intro-1.png

We aggregate high volumes of textiles that are worn out or damaged and not reusable

To turn non-reusable textiles into high quality, new materials for regional and global textile manufacturing value chains.

Home_Intro-2.png

We use automated systems to sort and pre-process textiles into feedstock

Home_Intro-3.png

Ready to be used in open loop, mechanical and chemical textile recycling processes
