CIRCULOSE MAKING FASHION CIRCULARA next generation material made by recovering cellulose from worn-out clothes and production scraps. CIRCULOSE® replaces the use of virgin materials such as wood pulp or cotton and helps to close the loop on textile production. CIRCULOSE® by Renewcell is a ‘dissolving pulp’ that can be used to make viscose, lyocell, modal, acetate, and other types of regenerated fibers. Latelly these fibers turn into a yarn, kinetted into fabric and finally cut and sewn into a new high-qualite textile product. Impetus Circulose® Tank Top in collaboration with Renewcell has been honored with the prestigious ISPO Award 2023, recognizing our efforts in pushing the boundaries of sustainable activewear. |
About Recycling Process |
#1We take in discarded textiles like clothes that can no longer be resold or used, or production waste. We prefer cotton fabrics because they contain a lot of cellulose. |
#2The clothes are shredded, de-buttoned, de-zipped, de-colored and turned into a slurry. Contaminants like polyester are taken out. What remains is cellulose – a biodegradable organic polymer that cotton, trees and most green plants on earth are made out of. |
#3The slurry is dried to produce sheets of pure CIRCULOSE®. We package the sheets into bales and ship them off to be made back into virgin quality textile fibers by fiber producers. |
#4Brands design and produce new clothes using fibers made from CIRCULOSE®. |
