California-based Circular Systems S.P.C. (Social Purpose Corporation) is a material science company, focused on the development of innovative circular and regenerative technologies, transforming waste into valuable fibers, yarn, and textile fabrics for the fashion industry. With its waste-to-fiber platforms Texloop and Agraloop, combined with its proprietary Orbital hybrid yarn technology, the company offers breakthrough solutions for the most efficient management of textile/apparel and agricultural waste streams. Circular Systems looks at two waste streams: textile and medicine/agriculture. Their core product—recycled cotton fiber—comes from textile waste.
Both the fashion and agricultural industries produce huge amounts of waste during production and consumption. There are very limited means available to upcycle them into useful textile materials, which can be a sustainable raw material source for the fashion industry.
The materials science company focuses on using waste streams as their main source of materials for production, working on up-cycling textiles rather than down-cycling them. They use regenerative technologies to turn waste streams into new fiber for the fashion industry. Their waste-to-textile fiber platforms include TexloopTM, AgraloopTM, and OrbitalTM. They focus mainly on recycling cotton fibers and crops.
Savings as per actuals (collected from the company's website) as of August 7th, 2022
512,664 kg of CO2 emissions were avoided.
1,399,452,511 liters of water were saved.
