Circulose

Circulose is a textile-to-textile recycler which processes cotton-based textile waste into new Circulose dissolving pulp. Dissolving pulp is the raw material used to produce viscose and lyocell fibres for the textile industry, which means Circulose’s material can be used in downstream textile supply chain to be processed into textile-grade fibres.

Meet the Innovator: Circulose

Circulose Renewcell breaks down used cotton and other cellulose-rich textiles and transforms them into a new, raw material: Circulose® pulp.

Why Fashion for Good is working with Circulose

Circulose focuses on turning cellulose-rich textile waste into new Circulose dissolving pulp, which can be spun into man made cellulosic fibres. This technology enables a replacement for dissolving pulp in the supply chain, thus reducing waste and building a more circular system.
