Circ and Primark announce long-term partnership
Textile-to-textile recycler Circ has signed a formal partnership with Primark to introduce recycled polyester made from textile waste into its clothing from 2029.
The Circ commercial facility will source textile feedstock globally, including post-consumer and post-industrial waste.
Global sourcing will occur from several locations, including the valorisation of European textile waste.
Peter Majeranowski, CEO of Circ, said: “When a global fashion retailer commits to integrating recycled materials into future collections, it sends a powerful signal across the industry: the demand is here, the materials are ready, and the opportunity to scale circular material supply chains is real.”
Circ’s patented technology is designed to recycle polycotton blended textiles, one of the fashion industry’s most widely used and historically difficult-to-recycle material streams. By separating and recovering both polyester and cellulose from blended textile waste, Circ creates materials that can be reintroduced into fashion supply chains.
