Sustainable Fashion

Chemical recycling processes convert polycotton and blended textiles into virgin-quality fibers. RFID and blockchain enable material traceability from raw fiber to finished garment. Digital product passports encode material composition for automated end-of-life recycling. AI-powered design tools optimize material usage and reduce waste in pattern cutting.

Circ's technology recycles polycotton textiles (the most common fabric blend) into virgin-quality fibers at commercial scale. Digital product passports enable consumers to scan garments for material composition and care instructions. Resale platforms extend garment lifecycle by enabling second-hand commerce. Supply chain transparency platforms verify sustainability claims from raw material to retail.

The sustainable fashion market is growing rapidly as the fashion industry (responsible for 8-10% of global CO2 emissions and 20% of industrial water pollution) faces regulatory mandates and consumer pressure for environmental responsibility. With 17 funders, the sector spans textile recycling, resale platforms, supply chain transparency, and sustainable material innovation.
