PYRATEX® adopts Circ® recycled fibers to accelerate circular textiles in Europe and beyond

Building on three years of joint development, PYRATEX has already developed fabrics with Circ’s recycled polyester and lyocell fibers and is currently running selected bulk productions for pioneering clients soon to be launched in the market. With Circ’s upcoming facility in France, PYRATEX is preparing to scale volumes and make these next-gen fibers a concrete replacement for widely used polyester and lyocell in the industry.

“Pyratex has built a reputation for turning bold ideas into real, scalable fabric solutions. Their early partnership and continued investment in Circ fibers reflects a deeper shift as long-term commitments are taking shape to support circularity at industrial scale,” said Peter Majeranowski, CEO, Circ. We’re working together to build a supply chain that can support circularity where it matters most: at scale.”

“Circ’s technology gives us what the industry desperately needs: true recycled fibers of fashion’s most widely used textiles,” said Regina Polanco, CEO, PYRATEX. “Through this partnership, we can integrate these solutions directly into our textile formulas delivering the quality, performance, and design flexibility that brands need while reducing impact at scale.”

The alliance reflects both companies’ shared mission: to enable the fashion industry to transition from virgin fibers to high-quality circular alternatives, without compromise on look, feel, or function.

Circ and PYRATEX will showccase their joint work during a Textile Exchange field trip in Portugal on October 17, where brands will experience scaled circular fiber production and explore how to integrate next-gen materials into future collections.
