Circ

Circ is a U.S.-based textile-to-textile recycling company developing technologies to recover reusable materials from discarded clothing and textile waste. Its patented process is designed to separate polyester and cellulose from polycotton blends, one of the textile industry's more difficult waste streams to recycle. The recovered materials can be converted into products including Circ Polyester and Circ Lyocell for reuse in new garments. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Danville, Virginia, Circ is developing its first industrial-scale facility in France and works with fashion brands, fibre producers and manufacturers to expand textile recycling infrastructure. The company has been a Certified B Corporation since 2023.
