In a bold step towards mainstreaming circularity in the fashion industry, Circulose has launched CIRCULOSE® Forward, a practical solution platform designed to simplify the adoption of circular materials in fashion supply chains. The initiative signifies Circulose’s evolution from a pulp manufacturer to a comprehensive solutions provider for circular fashion.
Developed in collaboration with the environmental nonprofit Canopy, CIRCULOSE® Forward aims to eliminate integration barriers and accelerate the transition from virgin fibers to recycled inputs across global apparel ecosystems.
Key Features of the Platform:
-
CIRCULOSE® Material Library
A digital catalogue of commercially available fabrics and yarns made with CIRCULOSE®, showcasing performance, aesthetics, and sustainability. -
CIRCULOSE® Forward Priced Materials
These selected materials follow a pricing logic designed to avoid unnecessary cost escalations through the value chain. -
CIRCULOSE® Forward Price Calculator
A user-friendly tool that helps brands assess the potential cost implications of adopting CIRCULOSE® at the garment or fabric level. -
CIRCULOSE® Supplier Network (CSN)
A curated group of manufacturing partners with proven capabilities in working with CIRCULOSE® to facilitate efficient production and scaling.
“This platform provides scalable solutions that meet both market demands and climate goals,” said Nicole Rycroft, Executive Director of Canopy. “It’s a step forward in leaving deforestation behind and ushering in a low-carbon, next-gen textile future.”
With the initial toolkit already available for preview, Circulose plans to expand the offering further, making circular fashion not just aspirational, but operational.
