Circulose, a global leader in recycled textile pulp, has announced a strategic partnership with China’s Tangshan Sanyou Chemical Fiber, a major cellulose fiber producer. This collaboration is a key milestone in accelerating the commercialization and scaling of CIRCULOSE®, while boosting the global presence of ReVisco™, Tangshan Sanyou’s innovative fiber made from recycled materials.
The partnership aims to align on quality, pricing, and supply capacity to meet growing market demand for sustainable textiles. As Circulose’s first major partnership since its restructuring, the alliance sets the foundation for long-term industry transformation.
Jonatan Janmark, CEO of Circulose, said, “This strategic alliance strengthens our expansion efforts and reinforces our commitment to circularity. Partnering with an innovation-driven leader like Tangshan Sanyou helps ensure a scalable and predictable future for circular fiber production.”
Tangshan Sanyou, consistently ranked high in Canopy’s Hot Button Report, is already the largest user of CIRCULOSE® pulp worldwide. With this renewed partnership, the company further commits to advancing large-scale textile recycling and sustainable fiber production in China and globally.
Zhang Dongbin, EVP of Tangshan Sanyou, emphasized the importance of cotton textile waste recycling in building a green industry and expressed full confidence in Circulose’s strategic direction and market potential. He highlighted the backing of Altor Capital and the leadership of Helena and Jonatan as critical to shaping a new era in circular textiles.
Together, the companies will push forward the application of ReVisco™ fibers, combining Circulose’s cutting-edge recycling technology with China’s extensive textile infrastructure. This partnership is expected to drive a global shift from raw materials to sustainable fabrics, redefining textile production and paving the way for a truly circular economy.
